"Because of an impeached, reckless, ruthless, lawless, shameless, corrupt, & unapologetically bigoted president - who is still engaging in a coverup, the state of the House, the state of the Senate, and the #StateOfTheUnion are divided," Green tweeted. "I will NOT attend #SOTU2020."
Waters, another early proponent of impeachment, also said she would not attend on Tuesday.
To think that I would attend the #SOTU to hear the message of an IMPEACHED president is a thought that in no way would be consistent w/ my fight and struggle against this dishonorable president. I will certainly NOT be there! Waters tweeted.
I'm not interested in listening to this impeached President lie. Therefore, I will not be attending the #SOTU2020 tonight, tweeted Thompson, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.
Rush said in a statement on Tuesday that he cannot honor this man in any way.
It would be painfully hypocritical of me to endure 90 minutes of unrelenting lies and all types of distortions and untruths, while at the same time watching his Republican apologists cheer, he said.
