Democrats boycott Trump’s State of the Union speech full of ‘lies’ for rally
This is why trust is collapsing.
Democratic lawmakers gathered at the National Mall Tuesday evening to counter President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address and protest his administration, basing their absence on the anticipation of Trump lying during his speech.
MoveOn and liberal media outlet Meidas Touch announced on Feb. 13 that it was organizing a counterprogramming to the State of the Union with 35 Democratic lawmakers, characterizing Trump’s address as a “night full of lies,” according to the press release.
“I am not at the State of the Union tonight because Donald Trump is making a mockery of this great institution, and he doesn’t deserve an audience,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said. “You’re not going to hear about the State of the Union [during Trump’s speech], you are going to hear lie after lie.”

“They want to call that the State of the Union. It is a state of denial, because what’s going to happen under that Capitol is a bunch of lies,” Gallego said. “Lies that Donald Trump and Republicans are going to tell us about how great the country is.”
“What is true, what is happening right now, is that Donald Trump and Republicans made this country sicker, poorer, and less secure,” Gallego added.
Schiff argued that Trump’s campaign promises have “all been broken.”
“All of this violates the oath the president took to faithfully administer the laws, to vigorously defend the Constitution,” Schiff said. “Thankfully, our founders gave us the tools to fight back against the man who would be king … and that is the right to vote.”
Markey compared Trump to Pinocchio to demonstrate the amount of “lies” that would be in …
