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."

If It wasn’t for blacks, Jews and GAYS, the DEMOCRATS would be NOTHING!
The State of the Union address is not a requirement - a report on the State of the Union is, and it is given “from time to time”. This is a trap and he shouldn’t go.
They can all boycott
Spoiled brats.
He should hold the SOTU at a stadium rally given to the public.
hirono line is that she is going to “bear witness”
Earl the Squirrel skips every year.
I would actually LOVE IT if they all boycotted!!!!
Please God, I hope they ALL boycott.
It would be such a more pleasant evening without them.
Terrible way to feel about people, isn’t it.
The fewer disruptive children the better.
Winning!
Good, I hope all of those criminals boycott. They make me puke when I look at them.
Please God, I hope they ALL boycott.
It would be such a more pleasant evening without them.
Terrible way to feel about people, isn’t it.
Oh! My Gosh - we need to beg them on emails to please, please don’t boycott the SOTU speech - they are so important and they will be terribly missed! We have suffered enough distress and to not see them tomorrow night will just devastate us!
Good riddance! They’re like three year olds throwing another tantrum. ....................................... More like 5th graders, “I’ll get even with you!”. Exactly what referred to with my wife in the car listening on the radio. Its like the hateful jealous clique we remember from school days.
Okay, I found it: Rat Chick governor of Michigan will do the Rat response. Much more attractive than the Ghettopotamus from last year, but I’m betting she’s a typical leftist b *tch.
Dang!! I was hoping for Schittforbrains or Lard@ss. :O)
Well I do not see how you can have the SOTU address if Frederica Wilson is not there.
I’m sure Nancy would also like to pass on the SOTU, knowing that she’ll be completely humiliated by the Senate on Wednesday. Too bad she has a camera-visible seat at the pog and dony show.
