A Democratic congresswoman announced Thursday she plans on skipping Donald Trump’s inauguration next week as the 45th president of the United States, vowing instead to spend her time laying the groundwork for “resistance.”

Rep. Barbara Lee of California said she can’t stomach the idea of attending the Jan. 20 ceremony after Mr. Trump ran “one of the most divisive and prejudiced campaigns in modern history.”

“I will not be celebrating or honoring an incoming president who rode racism, sexism, xenophobia and bigotry to the White House,” said Ms. Lee, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

The BLACK caucus? Doesn’t sound very inclusive to me.

Sure it is; just ask the WHITE caucus. Oh wait!!

Pretty easy to see who the white hating racist is in this childish rant of Lee's.

Just guess what would happen if the whites in the House decided to form a Congressional White Caucus?

Exactly. There would be an uproar about "racism, sexism, xenophobia (what does that even mean?--liberals use it all the time but I don't pay much mind) and bigotry" by those white privileged crackers in the Congress.
