Third House Democrat announces plans to boycott State of the Union
The Hill ^ | February 3, 2020 | Cristina Marcos

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."

A butthurt TDS patient who is also a politician and registered democrat isn’t a pretty thing to see anyway. Just look at Pelosi, Nadler, and Schiff for proof. When they have these toddler-like tantrums it’s downright creepy. Normal(ish) adults don’t behave this way.

I don’t think they should left the ‘RAT bass turds in anyway. They stink up the place with their body odors.

Gosh - and I thought that the story about

“Democratic Impeachment Manager Jason Crow used part of his closing arguments Monday to quote Harry Potter, using the fictional children’s book to argue for President Donald Trump’s removal from office.”

might mean they were coming to their senses....
