Democrats are readying a number of demonstrations to protest President Trump's first State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
A number of Democratic women will wear black in solidarity with sexual assault and harassment survivors, sending a message that the time is up for politicians who have used their power to engage in sexual misconduct. At least seven members are boycotting the address, and many are bringing recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program as their guests.
#MeToo
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., is pushing not only Democrats but Republicans to wear black to send a signal that Congress doesn’t tolerate sexual harassment. Speier invited the founder of #MeToo, Tarana Burke, to be her guest to the State of the Union, but Burke is unable to attend.
“We want men and women, Republicans and Democrats to participate,” Speier said. “I mean, who supports sexual harassment?”
Instead, Travis Moore, one of the leading advocates for survivors of sexual harassment and violence in Congress will join Speier. Moore helped organize 1,500 former congressional staff to send a letter to House and Senate leadership "demanding reform of the broken congressional complaint process," according to Speier's office.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., will be among the Democratic women wearing black to Trump’s address.
Boycotts and demonstrations
So far 11 Democrats have said they plan to boycott the president’s address, but that number is expected to grow. Additional members have said they are still mulling whether or not they will attend the speech.
Those not attending include Democratic Reps. John Lewis of Georgia, Maxine Waters of California, Primila Jayapal of Washington, Gregory Meeks of New York, and Barbara Lee of California.
The Congressional Black Caucus is debating whether they will boycott or engage in a demonstration during the president’s address. A few members have floated the idea of walking out in the middle of the speech or holding fists in the air while Trump is speaking or wearing Kente cloths in silent protest. A Democratic aide said CBC members are still deciding what actions they’ll take.
Dreamers
Pelosi, and Democratic Reps. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, Joe Crowley of New York, and Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico are among the lawmakers bringing so-called "Dreamers" as their guests. Dreamers are young, undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., will bring Stephanie Keegan, a New Yorker and mother of a veteran who overdosed on heroin while waiting to be seen at his local VA Hospital to put a spotlight on the need to invest more in the fight to combat the opioid epidemic. Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who is one of the key negotiators in immigration talks, will bring Cesar Montelongo, who has temporary legal status under DACA.
Potential 2020 contenders, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., will be joined by Denea Joseph, a DACA recipient who immigrated to the U.S. from Belize. Another Democrat on the 2020 watchlist, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, will bring Jean Bradley Derenoncourt, the first Haitian-American elected to public office in Massachusetts.
Congressional Hispanic Caucus members will wear "migrating butterfly" stickers in solidarity with "immigrants and refugees after a year of Trump's attacks," according to one aide.
Trump ordered the end of DACA effective March 5 and Congress is currently debating a legislative solution.
Democratic responses
Democrats have tapped Rep. Joe Kennedy of Massachusetts to give the official Democratic response to Trump’s address.
Kennedy, considered a rising star in the party, will give the rebuttal from Fall River, Mass. Kennedy’s guest to the speech, Staff Sergeant Patricia King, a transgender infantry soldier, will be attending without him.
Kennedy won’t be the only Democrat filming a response, however. Waters will also give a nationally televised rebuttal. Waters, the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, will speak at the start of a BET News special, BuzzFeed News reported.
Not to be left out, 2016 presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., will stream his own response on Facebook Live, Twitter, and YouTube.
In all, Democrats are planning at least five responses to Trump's speech.

Wouldn't it be fun if a bunch of Republicans showed up dressed like Boss Hogg!
Immigration blah blah blah.
Economy yada yada yada, believe me.
Crime rate blobbity blah blah.
Are you a disruptor? Get him out of here. Take his coat. Is that you Hillary? Go home to mommy.
Foreign policy yaboo daboo dah.
One political party is stirring up Anericans and causing resentment in order to divide this great country. They are resisting making America great again. Many of them are here tonight. I see you Chuck. There you are Nancy. Hello Adam.
Now I have something I'd like to read to you. Listen very closely. This is important, let me tell you.
Read, read, read, (drinks water with two hands) read, read, etc.
Medics. Medics. Attend to those women. And the girly men. Read, read read. In summation. The state of our union hangs in the balance. But we will win over this evil that has infected our government. That is what you elected me to do. And I shall never quit until I have made America Great Again.
ThankQ and goodnight. God bless you all and God bless the United States of America.
*pandemonium ensues*
1. They’re all going to wear rainbow colored suspenders (to celebrate sodomy), white flowers (to celebrate poor, abused women) and, um, clown noses (to celebrate their party in general).
2. They’re all going to show up at Maxine Waters’ alternate State Of The Union, where she will demand, possibly for the first time, that Donald Trump be impeached.
3. They’ll show up, and bring some of their dearest friends to show off - you know, like Bradley Manning, Harvey Weinstein and some random homeless guy off the street because, you know, there has to be a random homeless guy off the street.
4. Hillary will show up and demand to make the speech herself because the Russians hacked all of the voting machines and made them vote for Trump because they hate her because she’s a strong, wise woman.
The Left has succeeded in doing great damage to any detente between the sexes. New rules if you are a male who wants to survive. Never touch a woman on the job. Never comment on appearance, even a complement. Never meet alone with a woman. Never discuss anything that is not directly job related. What a sterile society.
So Waters isn’t attending the speech—but she is responding to it?
The CBC should definitely raise their fists in the air with their black power salute. Also, please wear your colorful Kente clothing for the added effect. Also, the female members should go for the whole effect and remove their culturally appropriated wigs.
The Democrats can again show their devotion to lawlessness by choosing illegal invaders over American citizens. Nothing says, hey, there are no deserving citizens that would be thrilled to attend a SOTU so we choose to bestow this honor on criminals that hate our country. Priorities. Priorities.
The Hispanic Caucus will also be celebrating illegal invaders by wearing butterfly stickers. Hey, who knew butterflies are now a symbol of people that originated from s***hole countries. There is nothing these people won’t debase.
The pound me too movement is a just a farce and another attempt to break down the rule of law. Remember when we used to presume innocence until proven guilty? That’s so last two centuries.
JoeJoe Kennedy, the new face of the Democrat party is just an everyman of the people and so relatable. Everybody knows that trust fund babies that have attended a 46K per year prep school and then not one, but two elite colleges is the way to win back the blue collar vote.
Should make for some great ads for the midterms.
So Waters isn’t attending the speech—but she is responding to it?
—
Well, that’s not difficult. What’s difficult is that she only knows five or six different words.
“So Waters isn’t attending the speech—but she is responding to it?”
Much like ALL the Rats who don’t want The Memo released, even though only 12 have seen it.
YAWN
Some jit is just thrown out there like everyone is supposed to know what you're talking about.
WHO CARES! Seriously, why care about what a bunch of communists and socialists do as a stunt. They’ve already done enough to harm our great country, so I won’t give their stunts the time of day.
I would add, remove their shirts and git to floppin’ like in the old country, but I think there’s a limit to America’s gag reflex.
When your only response is “impeach 45” there is no need to even watch the speech let alone attend.
All flirting is not sexual harassment, I love being flirted with and there is nothing wrong with sex. These stupid women that waltz into Harvey’s hotel room are numbskulls, no one has a business meeting in a hotel room unless it is a prostitute and a business man. And if some asshole shows up in a bathrobe to a business meeting, you flip him the bird and turn on your heel and leave.
Now the little girls in gymnastics that were preyed on is a totally different story, they are defenseless. These dumb girls that say my job depended on it, the hell it did, there are other jobs. If you accepted that your job depended on it, you are prostituting yourself.

Could not have said it better myself. Perfect.
hope the President finds out about this, as I believe this was what happened with some other videos played by the FakeNewsMSM after his brilliant speech at Davos. I even posted videos on a FR thread that had no hissing or booing either after Klaus Schwab introduced the President, nor after the President joked about the MSM. did MSM use the doctored German video, or did they also add booing?
29 Jan: Breitbart: FAKE NEWS: Public Broadcaster Admits To Increasing Booing Sounds During Trump Davos Speech
by Chris Tomlinson
German public broadcaster ARD has been blasted after admitting it “boosted” the sound of booing at the speech given by U.S. President Donald Trump late last week...
ARD released a clip of the speech on the Twitter account for its popular news programme “Tagesschau” in which distinct boos could be heard directly after the President’s comments. A short time later the programme admitted it had booted the volume of the audio in order to showcase the booing. The show has since been accused of “manipulation”, Stern reports.
Those behind the programme wrote on Twitter, “We did actually make the sound a little louder at the end so that you can hear the booing. Only in this way can we reflect what our correspondents have reported.”...

I don’t see an issue here. Wasn’t he the official first black president?
