An Oregon Democrat has become the first member of Congress to announce a boycott of the State of the Union address.
Rep. Earl Blumenauer, who represents much of Portland and its eastern suburbs, announced he will not attend the presidential tradition on January 30, Pete Hegseth reported.
Blumenauer said on Twitter that he would instead be "working at home listening to Oregonians about what they think about the State of the Union [address]."
He warned that the speech would be another example of President Donald Trump's "destructive, divisive" dialogue.

Great news!
PACK THE HALL WITH TRUMPERS!
Typical Liberal IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blumenauer? More like Blumenidiot. He accomplished his goalthis is the first Ive heard of him.
I would be happy to attend and occupy his seat.
Lefty Airhead with a Bow Tie....stay away, the IQ in the room will go up BIGLY!
Portlandia Stalinist Nutter.
I think they should take a knee instead.
“Blumenauer said on Twitter that he would instead be “working at home listening to Oregonians about what they think about the State of the Union [address].””

That is his cover on why he is not attending. Actually, he is spending the time trying to figure how to pump his on gas.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! Telling the truth is "destructive, divisive" dialogue".
Rep. from Portland. What a shocker.
He should give his seat for the speech to a pro-Trump voter from his district. All the Dems should do that.Give us a glimpse at what fully-realized MAGA looks like with no Democrats in Congress.
Is that the jackass with the bicycle pin?
YES! Leave the losers out in the cold.
Let them go hang out with their MS13 voters.
He quoted this from Lincoln, “Abraham Lincoln: No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.”
More appropriate to Democrats is Republican Lincoln saying of politicians, “You can fool some of the people some of the time, and you can fool all of the people some of the time. But, you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”
Most likely why democrats lost 1,000 government seats in the last couple of years, and why Hellary was sent packing.
Trump should offer a lottery for any of his constituents that want the seat
Lol!!!
All I can say to him is “Thank you!”
Trump should just submit the SOTU message in written form, and forgo the speech. I don’t think a live speech is required by the Constitution.
It would be a ju-jitsu move to those spoiled wimps who want to stay home and pout, and save the networks a lot of air time.
It would give CNN and MSNBC days worth of material to use on the air.
It would also be immediately distributed all over the internet, embedding in stone the message he wants to impart to America.
Let them fight that.

Well,we can at least look forward to Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg getting all liquored up again.
