California Dem boycotting Trump's address to Congress
The Hill ^ | February 28, 2017

Posted on 02/28/2017 12:22:31 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) says she will skip President Trump’s address to Congress Tuesday night, according to ABC News.

.@MaxineWaters is skipping Trump's speech to Congress. Told caucus this morning that anyone who can't sit still shouldn't go, per sources.

— Ben Siegel (@benyc) February 28, 2017

Waters's office confirmed to The Hill that she will not attend the speech, but denied that she has encouraged other members to skip as well.

The California Democrat similarly refused to attend Trump’s inauguration in January, saying she “never contemplated even going near any of those activities.” Nearly 70 other Democratic lawmakers also skipped the ceremony.

“I don’t honor him, I don’t respect him and I don’t want to be involved with him,” Waters said at the time.

That should raise the average IQ in the room by a couple of points, at least.

Good. If enough skip, maybe Ryan could call the House into session and the Senate do the same. Pass a lot of good,stuff without their interference.

Surprisingly cogent for Maxine. Those Donks who attend and act like 3 year olds will not look good to the voters.

So, the collective IQ of the room doesn’t take a nosedive.

More winning.

Good. See if you can get Jackson Lee, Nadler, Franken, Ellision, Pelosi and Ginsburg to join you.

So the President’s budget should boycott her district.

Two can play same game.

It will be a better atmosphere without Mad Max. Maybe she can convince her evil twin sister Nutty Nan to stay away too.
