... on @allinwithchris, @repmaxinewaters tells @joyannreid she will skip trump's state of the union on january 30: "why would i take my time to go and sit and listen to a liar? ... he does not deserve my attention." #inners pic.twitter.com/VNf3UIo2Pv — fake nick ramsey (@nick_ramsey) January 13, 2018
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said Friday she will not attend President Trump’s first State of the Union address following his vulgar remarks aimed at Haiti, El Salvador and African nations.
“Why would I take my time to go and sit and listen to a liar?” Waters said on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes.” “Someone who lies in the face of facts, someone who can change their tune day in and day out. What does he have to say that I would be interested in?"
“I don’t trust him, I don’t appreciate him and I wouldn’t waste my time ... listening to what he has to say,” she continued. “He does not deserve my attention.”
Waters is the third Democratic lawmaker to announce they won’t attend Trump’s address, scheduled for later this month.
Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) announced Friday he would skip Trump’s State of the Union over the president's “unbelievable” remarks, in which he referred to Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as “shithole countries.”
"I cannot in all good conscience be in a room with what he has said about so many Americans. I just cannot do it. I wouldn't be honest with myself," Lewis said.
Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) announced last week that he too would boycott Trump’s address.
Members of the Democratic caucus are planning ways to protest during Trump’s speech. Female Democrats, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), plan to wear all black in solidarity with victims of sexual misconduct and the #MeToo movement.

If a tree falls in the forest........
The IQ average of the Congress just went (way) up!
Hallelujah!! More WINNING!
Some folks just gotta cut off their nose to spite their fake. In Maxey's case, it would be an improvement.
I dispute that - I think it says more about machine politics and endemic corruption of the voting process.
Crazy Black Caucus at it again ,LOL
Having not read through the comments, we had the same thought! (See #21) Brilliant!
She has more wigs than Imelda Marcos owneds shoes. I’ll bet her distinct is going Hispanic so she will be out soon anyways.
What a self-centered attention whore. Nobody cares one iota if she is in her seat or not.
Why not ask everybody to wear “black?”
That would be original.
Trump may have said that in a private conversation.
It was Durbin that went public with the alleged comments.
If any damage was done to our national interests, it was Durbin that did it.
Why hasn't anyone accused Durbin of being a partisan tattle-tale willing to betray the presidents confidential conversations?
Dumb ass “C” probably doesn’t know where it takes place anyway.
Well that’s a win for everyone!
Hopefully, she’ll convince that embarrassment to Texas, Sheila Jackson Lee, with her. But I doubt anything will budge SJL from her front-row seat, where she makes a spectacle of herself.
She should skip it, she’s too dumb to understand most of it anyway.
That just make the janitor’s job easier.
Since Waters is not planning to attend, perhaps she could mop the floors in the hall, clean the bathroom facilities, etc. She is definitely qualified for those tasks more than being a “Representative” of anything.
Maxine Waters is an idiot, with the IQ of a rock.
John Lewis has about half the intelligence of Maxine Waters.
You said it. Now if we could get those total embarrassment Texas representatives Queenie Jackson Lee and Al Green (not to be confused with the great singer) to stay home it would be even better. Now, what to do with the idiot women wearing black, mourning for no reason........no reason at all........sheesh!
The Creature From The Black Lagoon and his mate won’t be there? Awww.....
Maxine Waters to skip Trump’s State of the Union
Be great if she could talk some of her other shithead ilk to skip it too.
