Rep. Steve Cohen: "I will not attend the SOTU tomorrow"

@RepCohen
I will not attend the #SOTU tomorrow. While I will always respect the office of the President, Trump demonstrates daily that he does not. I don’t believe he is worthy of the dignity and respect accorded to his predecessors. #SOTU2020 #BoycottSOTUhttps://cohen.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-cohen-announces-he-will-not-attend-trump-s-state-union …

2. I give him props

But I also believe he should not get paid for missing it. Take leave

The reason is if a person working at a factory decided to boycott something they’d not get paid and would have to use vacation hours.

9. Not "You Lie"

Just “Liar!” every time he does. By different people. In other words the whole SOTU would go, Liar... Liar... Liar... Liar... etc.

12. I want someone to yell...YOU ARE STILL IMPEACHED

and "The Kansas City Chiefs play in Missouri".

Also :When are you going to apologize to those with Traumatic Brain Injuries from the bombing?"

Actually there are endless possibilities.

28. Remember when Cohen called out Bill Barr's cowardice by bringing a toy chicken

and eating a bucket of KFC at Barr's empty seat when he refused to testify?

Trump could call them out by name and simply say "the rep from Xxxxxx didn't want to participate in the SOTU because they didn't want to go back to Xxxxxx and have to tell their constituents about all the winning that has been going on."

Just read that Pressley, Mad Max, and AOC won't be attending either.  Can it get any better than this?  I think I'll take a drink for every Democrat member that doesn't attend.  :cheersmate:

Yeah, it would show how childish, intolerant and hate filled those politicians are to everyone in America. It would also give the Republicans plenty of ammunition for many commercials in the upcoming election season.
