Here Are The Democrats Boycotting The State Of The Union Because Trump Is A Liar And A Racist

President Donald J. Trump is set to deliver the State of the Union on January 30. To no one’s surprise, a few Democrats will be boycotting the event. Well, five total—all the typical loudmouths of the Democratic Party.

1. Frederica Wilson (D-FL)

2. Maxine Waters (D-CA)

3. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.)

4. John Lewis (D-GA)

5. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR)

Lewis thinks Trump is a racist after the “s**thole countries remark”:

Lewis, 77, said he cannot go forward with attending the address to Congress, after what President Donald Trump "has said about so many Americans... I wouldn't be honest with myself."

He also told NBC News he believes Trump has racism "in his DNA."

Waters thinks he’s a liar, among other things:

Why would I take my time to go and sit and listen to a liar?" Waters said in an appearance on MSNBC Friday evening. "Someone who lies in the face of facts, someone who can change their tune day in and day out. What does he have to say that I would be interested in?"

 And Wilson pretty reiterated what Waters said:

Wilson told The Tampa Bay Times Sunday in a statement she doesn’t plan to attend Trump’s speech to Congress on Jan. 30.

"For the first time since I began serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, I will not be attending the president's State of the Union address," Wilson said. "I have no doubt that instead of delivering a message of inclusivity and an agenda that benefits all Americans, President Trump's address will be full of innuendo, empty promises, and lies.”

Jayapal cited racism:

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) on Monday announced she plans to boycott President Trump's State of the Union address to Congress at the end of the month, joining a handful of other Democratic lawmakers who are skipping the annual event.

"I'm here on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to say I will not be going to the State of the Union," Jayapal said in a video posted on social media.

"I think it is absolutely unacceptable to see the racism and the hatred coming out the White House in a way in which this president is fueling the flames of divisiveness across our country," she added.

Wilson was also the congresswoman who said the ambush in Niger that left four American soldiers dead would become Trump’s Benghazi. We’ve deployed a small contingent of troops for anti-terror operations. Also, that’s a patently false remark. It hasn’t become a scandal, though the Left sure tried on that front. It entered the realm of the insane, the perfect encapsulation of overreach that even forced anti-Trump writers to call out their side for peddling a false narrative. Rachel Maddow was one of them. The MSNBC host suggested these our troops were killed because of Trump’s executive order on immigration, which prompted Chad, who also had troops in country to withdraw. In other words, this decision prompted Chad to pull back and out troops got killed, which equals Trump killed them. No, it does not. First of all, the distance between Chadian and American forces at the time of the ambush was 733 miles. We were in Tongo Tongo, Chad was in Diffa executing anti-Boko Haram operations. It just wasn’t a factor, so maybe it’s best that these clowns won’t be at the State of the Union.

Absolutely NONE (meaning ZERO) of those whiny, pouting children will be missed during Trumps SOU speech. The gather is NOT about them, it is the successes that Trump has achieved during his first year. The demodummies can’t stand to hear the truth and will, as I said NOT be missed.

Give their empty seats to our military veterans, the people who deserve and EARNED those seats.

The idea of having veterans in full dress uniform to replace these RATS is brilliant!

I would love to see our vets have the seats but we know that if democrat seats are given away they will be given to BLM or other SJW who will disrupt the speech. Better they be empty.

They really don't get it. Just like the kneelers the empty seaters mean nothing and strengthen Trump's base.

Be sure to take note of these shithole districts and don’t bother to travel there or buy from companies located there, if one would dare to anyway

GTH all you hypocritical losers, esp you CBC types....your districts burn while you fiddle

I’m pretty sure that was sarcasm. At any rate, my sarcasm detector was pegged to the right as I read it, and then the article.

I’ve seem the idea floated to fill their seats with service members/vets. This needs to happen. Then thank them by name and call out who they are there replacing! That would be magnificent!
