A growing group of Democratic lawmakers will boycott President-elect Donald Trumps inauguration Friday to protest what they described as his alarming and divisive policies, foreign interference in his election and his criticism of civil rights icon John Lewis, a congressman from Georgia.
There are now more than 50 House Democrats 52, at last count who have declared that they will not attend the inauguration on Capitol Hill this week. The number rose sharply after Trump tweeted Saturday that Lewis (D) is all talk, talk, talk and should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities.

Will they sit out the State of he Union address as well.
Ran unopposed in PA-13. A$$hole.
Time to move.
Not only does it not matter it is a great indicator of their immaturity. Just on that basis I would never vote for them again if I had.
What bothers me the most is that they have given an oath to represent their district. Clerly that is a lie.
.............you’d think by now that EVEN a dumb as dirt democrat would “get it” that this kind of behavior was frowned upon by the American People that have taken them out of over 1,000 legislative seats. What’s that rule......”if you find yourself in a hole, quit digging!” Jeez!
If I had Trump’s ear I would encourage him to disinvite every single Democrat.
YAY!!! More tickets for others!!
Called my “moderate” rep Dan Lipinskis office to find out why he isn’t attending. Guy who answered the phone said it is a rare occasion for an inauguration to occur when Congress isn’t in DC. Said Lupinski had already planned a family getaway weekend. Told him Lipinsky needed to get the message out to the media why he wasn’t showing up. That he wasn’t boycotting Trump. Aide claimed he had several media interviews lined up explaining his absence. Lipinski has always been a master at walking the line in a conservative district. Voted against obamacare because of his pro-life stance when he knew his vote wasn’t needed for passage. If it was Hillarys inauguration I would bet my life he would be there.
95% of these scumbags are up to their eyeballs in corruption.
These commie scumbags are going to be CRUCIFIED by Sessions and his people.
F#c$ these degenerate animals, SMASH THE CPUSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
