... 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.

Oh, I think all the RATS should wear pussy hats.

That’ll show America just how responsible and mature they are.

The more Democrats that boycott the State of the Union speech the better. It will just confirm they have no interest in putting the good of the country above partisan politics. They just do not care, in fact I hope some of the RINO Anti-Trumpers don’t show up either.

John Lewis, in my opinion, has betrayed every so called principle he has or may ever have had. He has ridden that small, loose association with MLK, Jr. all his life. Somehow he has a Million Dollar Townhouse in D.C.. He is a Hypocrite and Mendacious Bastard of no Credibility whatsoever. So stay home then. Maybe he is sharing his bed of woe with Maxine Waters on the sly.

I think that if I were Trump, I’d reserve a section of those seats reserved for the President’s guests for Waters and her guests. See if she can refuse that. Then I’d invite her to the White House for a special reception. See if she can refuse that.

Most politicians and their hangers-on would sell their souls for a meeting and pictures taken and autographed by any President. Call her bluff, Mr. President!

A person like her makes me question the wisdom of allowing people to vote. She’s the best they have in that District?

She’s just another helper in killing her party and it’s a good thing.

But she adored the rapist ... the one who soiled the oval office .. the one who has no respect for women.

My hope is a 100% democratic party no-show. Let the entire country witness the coup attempt failure response by those guilty of such a loss.

Maxine Weaned-on-a-Dill-Pickle Waters. Thanks for not attending. No chance of seeing your wicked sour puss during SOTU.
How does she ever manage to tack that drugstore wig on that ever raging bobble head.
