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."

...either that or a cutout of the guy Anthony turned into a jack-in-the-box from The Twilight Zone.
Cohen is such an embarrassment to the state of Tennessee. But he represents and is elected by Memphis which is like a south Chicago....
Good riddance! They’re like three year olds throwing another tantrum.
Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya....and while you’re at it, take all the rest of your comrades with you.....idiot!
So? Adios MFer’s!
Not bad...
I’ll bet they’ll stamp their feet too!
No pen for you.
More seats for Trump guests I hope.
So you assume that because she married a man of the Jewish faith that she has no relationship with Christ?
You need to get out more
I have many friends who are Jews who do believe in and accept Christ as our Lord and Savior, not all that unusual
In the same vein I know those who profess as Christians but do not acknowledge his role as Lord and Savior
More winning!
Trump should boycott it.
So far. I bet more than a dozen will skip. They can’t handle the truth that Donald Trump was elected, is and even after impeachment is still the president. I really hope Trump trolls them on this.
Wilson is dumb as a stump.
Oh, yes. Can’t wait to see this.
I hope he looks them straight in the eyes when speaking.
Let all the Democrats boycott the State of the Union, and this time next year they will be watching his speech from their local tavern, crying in their beer.
Good they are nothing more than excrement!
I’d like to see all of them stay away.
Good riddance! They're like three year old's throwing another tantrum.
Three nobody Marxists trying desperately to get attention.
