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.”

Good, more seats for normal folk.
Wonder if the Islam tolerant leftist Democrats have been told to stay away from the inauguration because of a planned terror attack?
Good. This is a happy event. No need for the democrat Debbie downers.
That has crossed many peoples’ minds......................
So McConnell and Ryan are holding a lot of Congressional floor votes on the afternoon of Jan 20th right?
This kind of forecloses any kind of “reach across the aisle” for these crusaders for the status quo.
Change is coming. Either embrace it, or learn what it means to be asphalt. The road will get paved either way.
Bye!
I won’t be satisfied until NO Democrat shows up.
I hate to break this to these numb skulls in the Lamestream media BUT these democRATS not attending the inauguration WERE NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR ANYTHING TRUMP PROPOSES ANYWAY so this makes ZERO difference.
“We interrupt this program to give bring the latest fake news about Trump...”
Do you think MLK would be proud of these DemoRats??? I agree with the post #2 ...just make room for more good people. Maybe they will boycott state of the unions too...
Will they all draw a salary while not being at work? Taxpayers want to know.
If they keep this s#it up there won’t fifty of them left to attend his next inauguration!!
Yep, Democrats haven’t been this mad since we took away their slaves.
That article lists 47 names, 10 of which I recognize.
Because they are worthless and weak.
Pictures. I want Pictures.
Hope they don’t know in advance of something bad that is supposed to happen.
When 0bama visited Oregon in the last couple of years, the trailing SUV with the gatling gun was open and mounted against people lining the road. I remember watching it and being shocked.
I don’t suppose they will be volunteering to help others during that time.
