Nearly 70 Democratic lawmakers skipped Trump's Inauguration www.washingtonpost.com[/url] › powerpost › 2017/01/16

Jan 16, 2017 — More than 50 Democrats in the House of Representatives have said they won't ... Lewis will not attend the inauguration, he told NBC News in an interview for attend the inaugural ceremony for President-elect Donald Trump.
Skipping an inauguration and denying someone won are two entirely different things. TBH- if people either did not announce or were not questioned on attending inauguration, no one would notice 70 out 540 something (when you add whatever odd shallow delegates we allow in the House) not being in the background.

The complete inability to acknowledge this election has simply grown bizarre. Its not a matter of saying Biden won and that sucks- its basically claiming they don't know/can't tell. Or called a neighboring state governor about tossing votes in the case of one my US Senators...

More than one third of US House Democrats boycotted Trump's inauguration. Obama was asked to criticize them and refused. Many cited that the election was stolen as their reason for boycotting the inauguration.

I find it amazing that Democrats think they are on a high horse of good behavior.

Did the impeach campaign "literally" on DAY 1 was started by any of congress members? if so please cite again. Some private people saying things don't mean anything.



There is a difference between not showing up on inauguration day and denyng someone who won in a landslide are too different things. In fact the 2nd link says why they did not show up and the reason was they did not like Trump. No one mentioned "Hillary won" and election was stolen So yeah stop comparing apples to oranges.

You've been proven wrong.

Admit it and be an adult.

The Washington Post article from his Inauguration Day makes it clear he was attacked from Day 1.


Yes, some Democrats did say they boycotted the inauguration due to foreign interference, “serious issues surrounding legitimacy,” and Russia.

20 — 88% of Republicans in Congress — wouldn't say, and two congressmen, Reps. Paul Gosar (Ariz.) and Mo Brooks (Ala.), said Trump won.

Why it matters: By voting against the resolution, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) and House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy effectively blocked the committee from publicly recognizing Biden as president-elect.

Republicans on the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies voted against a resolution that would have affirmed the committee was preparing for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) announced Tuesday.

Such small and petty people. Still kowtowing to their supreme leader, even at this late date.

Of course. It is obvious to everyone that and how this election was stolen. The big clue is thatc plugs barely campaigned knowing, of course, the fix was in.
