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."

Childish but not unexpected. I’m sure there will be more.
I hope every single Congressional RAT doesn’t show up and we don’t have to look at their disgusting UGLY scowling faces!
More empty seats for guests of POTUS to fill!!!! WHEEE!!!!
He can send it in writing. The way it used to be done.
What has this likely commie ever done to make America Great?
Trump goes and does the SOTU address and they (leftists) will simply destroy themselves this week.
It feels good.
Watch for new developments in the ’get Trump’ saga.
Circus, Circus, Circus.
I just hope that Trump treats the members of the Democrat/Socialist Party who behave like this and especially those who vote to remove him from office sith the same level of contempt and disrespect with which they have treated him and his family over the past three years. That is, treat the Democrat/Socialist politicians just like he chastises and condemns the enemies of America in the fake-news industry.
This trio of showboats prefer to only listen to Obama’s lies and how he was going to fundamentally trash the USA and Constitution.
Trump should fill their seats with...."children"!
...it's perfect!
“They just look like spoiled children by doing this”.
And President Trump will be presidential and optimistic and positive. That will get their goat.
They’ll be sitting on their hands again. Let’s watch for Nancy’s signals. How about a shot per signal?
They will be sorely missed. Not.
awesome. Stay away forever asshole
Good.
POTUS would be fulfilling his obligations under the constitution. It’s the dem congress creeps that’d be flouting the law.
Let all of them boycott! They know they want to.
Do we know yet which Rat idiot is going to do the official response to SOTU?
Last year it was a pathetic 15 minutes from Ghettopotamus Stacey Abrams. I hope they pick Schittforbrains or Lard@ss for this year’s response LOL!
