Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said Friday she will not attend President Trump’s first State of the Union address following his vulgar remarks aimed at Haiti, El Salvador and African nations.

“Why would I take my time to go and sit and listen to a liar?” Waters said on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes.” “Someone who lies in the face of facts, someone who can change their tune day in and day out. What does he have to say that I would be interested in?"

“I don’t trust him, I don’t appreciate him and I wouldn’t waste my time ... listening to what he has to say,” she continued. “He does not deserve my attention.”

Waters is the third Democratic lawmaker to announce they won’t attend Trump’s address, which is scheduled for later this month.

Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) announced Friday he would skip Trump’s State of the Union over the president's “unbelievable” remarks, in which he referred to Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as “shithole countries.”

"I cannot in all good conscience be in a room with what he has said about so many Americans. I just cannot do it. I wouldn't be honest with myself," Lewis said.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) announced last week that he too would boycott Trump’s address.

“Rather than listening to yet another destructive and divisive speech by Trump, I will not attend this year’s annual address to Congress,” he said in a statement. “Instead, like I did during Trump’s Inauguration, I will be working here at home listening to Oregonians about what they think about the State of the Union.”

Members of the Democratic caucus are planning ways to protest during Trump’s speech. Female Democrats, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), plan to wear all black in solidarity with victims of sexual misconduct and the #MeToo movement.

Some House Democrats are also reportedly planning to invite sexual assault survivors as their guests that evening, and Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) said she has invited the founder of the #MeToo movement, Tarana Burke, to be her guest that evening.


Poster Comment:

As Maxine is a card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) she should be in jail or in an insane asylum with Nutsy Pelousy. Who wants this butt-ugly bitch sitting in the audience?

* Negro Family Income fell by more than $900 under Obama.

*Negro Family Income rose by more than $1,000 under Trump in less than one year that's almost a $100 jump!

* Negro Unemployment Rate is 6.8%

* Negro Unemployment hit 16.8% under Obama.

In less than one year under Trump Negro unemployment dropped 10 percentage points.

President Trump has done more for Negro People in America in one year than Obama did in his entire stinking life.

Wake Up Negro People, President Trump is working for YOU and Democrats like Maxine Waters are not.

I like how Mad Maxine is trying to steal John Lewis' thunder over boycotting SOTU.

Personally, I'd prefer Trump simply submit a written report. That is all that is required. That destructive weirdo internationalist, Woodrow Wilson, was the first prez to try to aggrandize himself with the public by giving a live address and turning a routine annual report to Congress into an event of the imperial court.

The corrupt bitch made a point of telling us because nobody would have noticed otherwise.

Maybe Maxipad plans to spend the evening in the shithole she "represents" and hasn't seen in 40 years.

I'm not sure they should let potatos in that event anyway.
