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."

what color will the democrats women be wearing this year?
“”L””t”” = Let
OOPS - sorry didn’t see that....
Good you would just be using up Oxygen anyway, so go stick your head in a Toilet and flush away.
It’s an opportunity to be on tv and reach Americans. Normally media doesn’t give him prime time tv time.
Black?
I heard this morning on FNC that all the Dim women would be wearing white again this year (suffragettes and maybe something else)
Maybe Frederica from FL didn’t have an appropriate white cowgirl hat to wear for the occasion ;-)
If we added the IQs of the three, would the sum exceed room temprature? I am not aware of any legislation that they have introduced that has improved the lives of anyone. I do know that Choen brought a bucket of KFC to a committee hearing, and Wilson wears silly cowboy hats. Do not know anything about the dunce from Oregon, nor do I want too.
The Jared thing was weird. When trump wins in 2020 Jared and Ivanka should be asked to leave the WH.
Hey Earl, if you are not going to run Government the way I want, I will boycott taxes.........
with veils I hope
A white dunce cap would be perfect for her. :^)
As it is, no one will miss them knowing they will stay away.
Why, because you are a closet Anti-Samite?
Good. It’s a waste of time.
I though the same of people that boycotted President Obama’s SOTU addresses (I think there was one or two).
Wish they would go back to transmitting the SOTU solely via letter and forget the TV drama.
“I have chosen not to dignify Trump’s parade of lies..”
Earl the prick dignifies it by his absence.
Let’s coin a new label for politicians that behave like these three. Henceforth let’s call them Schiffheads.
Fuqum
What a childish act. Really classy
I had predicted some would walk out. But if they just don’t show up - much better.
