A growing number of Democratic lawmakers are boycotting President-elect Donald Trumps inauguration, particularly after revelations of Russias alleged meddling in the 2016 election and his rebuke of civil rights icon John Lewis on Saturday.
Some members of Congress have said they will be protesting in DC and in their districts instead.

Perfect..at least Trump won’t have to bring any RAID the cockroaches won’t be attending
There are 46 Democrats in the U.S. Senate.
There are 194 Democrats in the House of Representatives.
There are 240 Democrats on Capital Hill.
This list of 16 people is only 6.66% of the Democrats on Capital Hill.
Bunch of big babies.
This is actually not a good thing.
There aren’t enough Democrats on the list.
Yes it is. And its magnified because he criticized John Lewis, who the media have declared to be an icon of the civil rights movement. Look for all the talking heads to use the word icon in the days ahead to describe John Lewis.
And since John Lewis is black, then by definition its racist to criticize him.
Idiots on parade
Guess what. You boycotting the ceremony will not change anything. He will still be sworn in and no one will notice that you were not there.
I think most of them were just looking for an excuse to get all huffy and not go. Good riddance!!
These people have no desire to make America great again. They prove this daily and through decades of their loser leadership and punitive anti-American policies which brought us nothing but decline, death and debt.
Democrats Against Democracy
Good.They are worthless POS anyway.McCain and Graham should stay away also.
Wow, that is quite a statement! I figured you might have qualified it a bit, perhaps limited to the local group, or maybe the Virgo Supercluster... or, to be much more inclusive, the observable universe. But, to include the whole universe, now that's saying something!
They are going to learn very soon that it ain’t the same ol’ Washington they are used to....
I actually would not mind if all of the Rats boycotted. Why have the pretense. They all hate Trump and only tolerate the GOP as a whole because the have to. Give the rats CA $20 and a one way mandatory ticket to all registered Dems.
And since John Lewis is black, then by definition its racist to criticize him.
Please stop participating in all government.
The people on that list that I’ve “heard” about:
John Lewis
Raul Grijalva
John Conyers
Barbara Lee
Luis Gutierrez
Unfortunately, I have not heard of these Reps. because of good things they have done for America.
The article claims John Conyers is the “dean of the United House of Representatives.” Really? Is that an elected position? What is the United House of Representatives? Never heard of it. Perhaps the article meant to say “dean of the United States House of Representatives?”
They’re going to learn it not only in D.C., but across this country. It’s our turn now.
Good. They’re showing who they are.
You are witnessing the consignment of the Democrat Party to minority status on the national stage. They only highlight their impotence and anti-Americanism with such petty political behavior.
