A third House Democrat announced plans on Monday to boycott President Trump's Tuesday State of the Union address, which will take place a day before the Senate is expected to acquit the president in his impeachment trial.
Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), who also skipped Trump's previous State of the Union addresses, said that he will not be attending the speech on Tuesday.
“I have chosen not to dignify Trump’s parade of lies about health care, his persistent exaggeration, and his personal attacks with my attendance at this year’s State of the Union Address. His appalling performances each day continue to justify that decision, and I have no doubt tomorrow night will be more of the same — even possibly worse," Blumenauer said in a statement.
At least two other Democrats will also skip Tuesday's State of the Union speech: Reps. Steve Cohen (Tenn.) and Frederica Wilson (Fla.).
It will be the third year in a row that Blumenauer, Cohen and Wilson have decided to opt out of attending Trump's State of the Union address.
Cohen, who had long advocated for impeaching Trump and co-introduced articles of impeachment in 2017, told The Hill late last week that he had no intention to "go in a very cold room and hear a bunch of puff and lies."

All the Democrats Boycotting President Trump's State of the Union Address Tonight
And we should care why?
What??? Are you accusing me of being anti Semitic?????
No I am not. My closest friends since high school are Jewish. It’s the nepotism is going to cause a problem. Let them work on his campaign.
Last time I checked He is president, not you
He can and should have those around him he trusts, note that the Deep State (Washington et all) is full of snakes
End of discussion
The usual suspects.
Watch the next time you accuse someone of being anti-Semitic.
I can post my opinion.
End of discussion.

Oh.....I’m disappointed....I thought the title said that a third of democrats were boycotting.....here I was, hoping for a peaceful SOTU. I’m sure that those Dims there are going to show their ass to our President....count on them not being mature.....and accepting defeat gracefully. They are too full of hate for that.
