Rep. Gerry Connolly (Va.), the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said he will boycott Trump’s speech “in solidarity” with federal government employees who have been terminated as part of the Trump administration’s push to downsize the government and cut waste. Connolly also added that his protest is a way to offer backing for those both domestic and overseas who are set to be impacted by Trump’s agenda.
“We have never seen our laws, institutions, and the separation of powers so attacked from within. These are not normal times. The challenges my constituents face demand more than sitting in a chamber I revere, listening as if the person addressing our country is not unleashing chaos and cruelty on their lives,” Connolly said in a statement. “I cannot give audience to that.”

I have an idea. They can all skip it. How relaxing would that make it?
The Democrats are totally confused.
Some are boycotting the speech.
Some are inviting fired federal employees to the speech to heckle the President.
They should have held a coordination meeting or something—kinda like the Kamala Harris coronation teleconference.
Lol.
I trust he will take his ball and bat when he leaves. Is he concerned about the precedent set for other President’s speeches?
“These are not normal times.”
An organization is way over-staffed and spending way beyond its income. It needs to trim fat and lays off people.
What is “not normal” about that? Almost everybody on FR can tell the same tale of woe being a company cutting back and laying off.
It is perfectly NORMAL.
What is really abnormal is people in government thinking they have jobs for life and will never get laid off.
Will Gerry Connolly take Joy Reid’s advice and strip down outside the capitol building and pout?
The Republicans should bring military and federal workers who were fired for not taking the clot shot.
need more cards
>>”We have never seen our laws, institutions, and the separation of powers so attacked from within”
Separation of powers? What, you mean the separation of powers between the executive branch and the executive branch that the Leftocrats invented? Damn right Trump’s attacking it!
And these are not NORMAL people!
Democrats have become more ABNORMAL every year!
Proof positive - Fetterman is one of their most "normal" ones!
Has anyone posted a live thread for the Trump thingy tonight.
“The Republicans should bring military and federal workers who were fired for not taking the clot shot.”
Any Veterans laid off should be vetted and barring any undisclosed reasoning... reinstituted immediately with back pay.
Trump should say “ok, no democrats or other deviants will be allowed in for my speech tonight”... screw em
So courageous!
From what I understand, they did have a meeting. This is the dems in "lockstep"!
The Sargent at Arms is going to be busy. Our President won’t put up with this.
And all J6 people!
I think President Trump said they could get their jobs back but since there has been so much going on I could be wrong.
I hope Secret Service gives POTUS a Kevlar helmet to wear tonight. Democrats have a history, and they are absolutely not well.
Oh well, they wouldn’t understand it anyway.
