Vice President Mike Pence and the top two Republicans in Congress, soon-to-be Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, plan to skip President Donald Trump's departure ceremony on Wednesday morning.
Trump, bucking tradition, will depart from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland for his home in Florida at 8 a.m. ET without meeting with President-elect Joe Biden or attending his inauguration ceremony later in the day.
In most previous years, the outgoing president has met with the incoming president and first lady at the White House. After attending their successors' inauguration ceremonies, former presidents often depart from the Capitol in a military helicopter to head to Joint Base Andrews to fly off to begin their post-presidential life.
Axios reported on Tuesday that McConnell and McCarthy will attend a morning mass service scheduled to start at 8:45 a.m. with Biden at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostate in Washington, DC, down the street from the White House.

“McConnell and McCarthy will attend a morning mass service scheduled to start at 8:45 a.m. with Biden at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostate in Washington, DC, down the street from the White House.”
I wouldn’t be caught in that building with those demonics, McConnell and Biden, that’s for sure.
These fools think they’re going to redefine the Republican party, they’ve got another think coming.
McConnell was kicked out of the National Guard after 6 weeks for being a pole smoker. He was able to use political connections to get it listed as medical for eyes. An officer there at the time is quoted as saying “yeah, he couldn’t see the difference between men and women”.
I will stay home. I just will not show up.
“Trump’s his own worst enemy. His behavior after the election has put us in a really bad place.
If he doesn’t pardon Assange, he will be dead to me.”
Would you please translate that into Chinese fair weather friend?
he’s from a conservative area - so i think he could be knocked off if he continues down the Establishment road.

You must have your head in the sand!
You must have a couple screws loose. Voting for Rats? Never.
The GOPe is happy to collude with Democrats to defeat Republicans they don’t like. They’ve done it over and over.
We don’t shape the political battlefield. GOP voters either play by the rules the GOPe plays with or we lose. If that means tactically voting for Democrats to remove Quisling Republicans so be it. There is no door number 3 here. It’s that simple.
St. Matthew the Apostate!?!
How appropriate.
😂🤣😇
“His behavior after the election has put us in a really bad place.”
That’s just a stupid comment.
HUGE DITTOS!!!!!!!!
Classless is as classless does. Let them eat cake.
It’s a stolen election with foreign interference. Just no.
Anyone know where we can write or email MIKE PENCE?
You must have a screw loose to vote for a republican who betrays you. I said I would vote for them BEFORE I would vote for a traitor... that ending the whole damn thing is better than the death of a thousand cuts. Reading is fundamental sport.
In WWI fighter pilots and on 9/11, people jumped to their death rather than burning alive.
No votes for the treasonous and corrupt GOP.
just take your message, and shove it up any RINO’s butt.. Pence will be able to read it just fine up there.
Well, sad to see your choice.
I will still support him. Just a few of his accomplishments, single spaced! If wanted can edit!

Pence is a deep state coward. This is the thanks The President gets. I expected this from the worthless POS Mitch and Ryan’s sock puppet. The GOP is dead. Their only hope was to stand with Trump against the media lie that there was no cheating. Instead the gutless traitors joined the “baseless” chorus and stabbed the best President in a generation in the back. F them F them all.
I’m hoping there’s a welcome planned by supporters in Florida. Does anyone know???
