About a dozen Democratic lawmakers have announced their intention to skip Donald Trump’s inauguration next week as a protest of the president-elect’s plans for the country. The boycotters make up a small fraction of the 535 House and Senate members, but their decision to protest represents a break with tradition that they say is warranted by Trump’s agenda, which they see as extreme.
Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., told Yahoo News she decided she couldn’t celebrate Trump’s inauguration because of his comments during the campaign about temporarily barring Muslims from entering the country and his vow to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
“I thought about it over and over again — it’s not a decision I came to lightly,” she said Thursday. “I thought about it very carefully because I do believe in democracy and this peaceful transfer of power.”
Lee was among a growing handful of Democratic lawmakers who objected last week to the certification of the Electoral College results on the House floor. She said she objected because of her concerns over Russian interference in the election.

Hooray, these bicoastal D twits will be far away from the festivities. More room for the rest of us.
Pathetic. Cue the sad accordion music.
I just read that the RATs couldn’t get tickets.
So now it’s a boycott...
I have had enough of this nonsense from the globalists. We stood by and acted civilized for eight years while their candidate who wasn’t even born in America occupied the White House. Thank you, Sheriff Joe, for your December 2016 announcement of the independent international forensic experts verifying the forgery of the birth certificate. Apparently some teen fan fiction about Russian prostitutes is more important for the MSM to cover.
A very SICK political party indeed. The party of perversion and abortion.
Phuck’em, who wants them around anyhow?
Buh-bye, Commie pigs.
Silence, you ninnies!
The needle on the matter is moving way too much
Who really cares who attends besides Trump and Pence
Idiotic grand standing and people are sick of this nonsense.
How can we go on without them? Anyway, they’re not really concerned about “Russian interference”, the wall, or any other of their fake issues. They won’t say what they’re really opposed to, because then we’d know them for who they are.
That way they get to hate on Donald no matter WHAT happens.
"I hate the food at that restaurant, and the portions are SO SMALL!"
Awwww...that’s too bad.
Perhaps the House/Senate majorities will “boycott” them as well.
Well, Good Bye, Rats....don’t let the door hit you in your brain, er I mean, azz.
Many people have very little class, these Dems have no class at all.
Ah! You’ve just named Bill O’Reiilys next book:
“Killing Megyn Kellys Ratings”
He shoots - He scores!
WIN!
How ashamed the ghettos from which they spring should be at these Leftist dummies. But no, they will be reelected until they croak because their only requirement is to take money from working people and give it to the loafers.
You don’t have to be smart to do that, thus fulfilling crooked LBJ’s prediction that his redistributionist “War on Poverty “would buy the n****r vote for 200 years.” So far we’ve spent over $17 Trillion on that war, and there are more “poor” sucking at the government teat than ever.
