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.

This is mis-reporting. Truth is she couldn’t remember the channel. And the other libs who could turn it on for her don’t want to be publicly connected to her.

GOOD!!! Then I won’t have to look at her butt ugly face on TV tonight. But then I just remembered she will probably be given more air time than President Trump because she is throwing a sh%t fit.

“Waters’s office confirmed to The Hill that she will not attend the speech.”

Good! The room will smell better as a consequence. Now, if she could only convince the rest of the Black Caucus (aka United Lawn Jockey’s of America) to stay away too.

Her constituents should be pissed at her for not representing them. But, anyone who would elect that thing probably doesn’t care anyway.

‘Bye, Maxine. Going to miss a really rousing campaign rally in your absence.

The Donald does not disappoint when it comes to a show. But, conversion is not for everybody.

A few years ago, The Donald could have very easily been elected to the Presidency as a DEMOCRAT. But Team Clinton got in the way....

She is probably going to spend the evening visiting the Obama’s.

Her and Moochelle can spend their time trying on each others Wigs.

Come to think of it, she probably thinks that if something happens at the Speech she will be the Designated Survivor.
