Cohen joins 11 other Democratic House members boycotting the president’s address. Illinois Reps. Bobby Rush and Danny Davis announced Monday they would not attend.

“This is a presidency that has been built on racism, stupidity, and lies, which has already wasted enough of America’s time and I will not waste any more of mine,” Rush said in a statement Monday.

Davis will instead be in Chicago on Tuesday awaiting the Democratic response, delivered by Massachusetts Rep. Joseph Kennedy III, to the president’s remarks, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

I can certainly see why they don't want to subject themselves to the perverted carny barker.
