Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) says she will skip President Trumps 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.

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 Trumps inauguration in January, saying she never contemplated even going near any of those activities. Nearly 70 other Democratic lawmakers also skipped the ceremony.
I dont honor him, I dont respect him and I dont want to be involved with him, Waters said at the time.

Good. President Trumps message would be way over her pay grade.
Good riddance.
One is not enough. Come on democRATS don’t let me down. You gotta skip town like they did in Wisconsin. Once you shake President Trump’s hand tonight....it’s over.
Gosh... if Mad Max hadn’t said anything I wouldn’t have noticed. And I still won’t notice cut I’m tuning in with radio.
Oh, no... I... sniff... I think I’m going to cry.
Trump Making America Great Again eliminating one idiot at a time...

Maxine H2Os is a moron!
THIS IS NEWS?
It was funny today listening to Rush - because he mentioned about the Dems planning to bring “undocumented/illegal” immigrants to the President’s speech tonight.
What was so funny to me .. Rush said casually, “I wonder if the guys from ICE will be there to greet them?”.
So, no mention was made of any illegals being in the audience, and I’m wondering if the 70 DemocRATS who did not attend, were the ones who were planning to bring the illegals. And, I’m also wondering if they found out what Rush said, and they decided not to bring the illegals ..??
Of course, I was watching and listening on C-SPAN - because I didn’t want to hear from any media. But, I did have my TV on which is just a few words ahead of C-SPAN.
My opinion of the speech: AWESOME! And, I was so glad the President pointed out the widow of Ryan (the SpecOps guy who was killed in the latest successful raid) .. the guy McCain said that because of Ryan’s death, the mission was a failure. I’m so glad to see Trump embarrass McCain .. and I’m hoping it will teach McCain a lesson .. don’t mess with this President.
