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.

Any chance she can get her namesake Shelia Jackson Lee to join her?
It’s because he’s white, isn’t it?
This will increase the mean IQ at the inauguration by
about 6 points.
Trump keeps on winning!
Barbara Lee is a disgrace to the House, and has been for quite a while.
Resistance against Trump or resistance against America? Trump should start calling these congresscritters out. It’s time to stop the personal vendettas and do their duty to MAGA.
“”””
“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.
Suck it up you racist witch.
We had to accept a lying, incompetent, racist, illegal alien, closet muslim, homosexual doper as president twice.
You got the better end of the deal with Trump in 2017.
The last straw came when she learned that there wouldn’t be an Ebonics interpreter at the Inauguration.
Her absence will significantly raise the overall IQ of the event.
I was going to suggest the entire Racist Black Caucus not attend.
I drove through her ‘district’ a few weeks back. A filthy crime ridden cesspit if ever there was one. Detroit by the Bay.
I’m sure this is BREAKING NEWS on FAKE NEWS-CNN.
As Snoopy used to say,
"Cursive, foiled again!"
Those Skittles were in memory of St. Trayvon?
Babs...words can’t express how devastated Mr Trump will be because of your absence.And BTW,Babs...were you the one who told that Admiral that you were afraid that stationing too many sailors on Guam would cause it to capsize?
Trump will always be remembered as #45. Barbara Lee will go down in history as??
Now this is how true racists act.
