More than 50 Democratic lawmakers now skipping Trump’s inauguration

A growing group of Democratic lawmakers will boycott President-elect Donald Trump’s 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.”

Just a tactic of the Clinton Party. It will backfire on them.

I’m expecting most to be in the streets with the anti-American racists looking for camera time to express “solidarity” with the enemy.

That’s great, it is always nice to be around like minded persons rather than having to watch your mouth.

Who here really cares? It just means that they’ve signed their confessions and can’t recant some time in the future.

Let them play the ball where they’ve hit it. They can go console themselves with Obama, if they cant track him down wherever he’ll be.

No power, no say. Screw them.

“Whatever happened to “reach across the aisle”?”

Only Republicans are expected to do that.

But..but..the democrat party says they are a big tent, they are inclusive of all people, and are tolerant of others.

May be not true?
