Liberals are once again showing what sore losers they are this week as 26 Democratic lawmakers have announced plans to boycott Donald Trump’s inauguration.
New York Daily News reported that more lawmakers joined the boycott after Trump’s feud with Congressman John Lewis over the weekend. The latest names to join the protest include New York City Democratic Reps. Nydia Velazquez, Yvette Clarke, Adriano Espaillat, Jerrold Nadler and Jose Serrano.
“Given the tone of the campaign, Rep. Velazquez didn’t think it appropriate to attend the inauguration and made that decision weeks ago,” the congresswoman’s office announced on Sunday. “She will spend her time elsewhere on events like the Women’s March.”
“We stand shoulder-to-shoulder against anyone (@realDonaldTrump) who seeks to deny our humanity. #boycotttrump,” fellow congresswoman Clarke, who represents central Brooklyn, tweeted Sunday.
I will NOT attend the inauguration of @realDonaldTrump. When you insult @repjohnlewis, you insult America.

Nadler tweeted over the weekend that Trump “stands with V. Putin. I stand with @repjohnlewis.”
Espaillat took to Facebook on Saturday night to say, “many have given their lives and dedicated their lives to working to fulfill Dr. King’s dream and make it a reality, and it is up to us to preserve his legacy and the legacy of President Barack Obama.”
“President-elect Donald Trump is trying to take us back,” he wrote. “That’s why I am not attending the presidential inauguration. Donald Trump and the hate-filled rhetoric that plagued his election simply will continue in his administration. THIS is not Dr. King’s Dream!”
Other lawmakers boycotting the inauguration include Reps. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.), Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), Katherine Clark (D-Mass.), Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), John Conyers (D-Mich.), Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) and Mark Pocan (D-Wis.).
This is the highest number of lawmakers to boycott an inauguration run modern history. It should be noted that not a single Republican congressman boycotted Barack Obama’s inauguration despite the fact that almost all of them disagreed with his policies.
SHARE this story if you think these whiny liberals need to STOP with this nonsense and ACCEPT Trump as their president!
