Rep. Summer Lee on Boycotting Trump Speech, Jesse Jackson, Voting Rights, "Endless Wars" & More

[Uncle Joe]

Many Democratic lawmakers boycotted Tuesday's State of the Union address to attend alternative events, including our guest Congressmember Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, who gave the Working Families Party response to President Trump. "The president is disgraceful, and I don't think it's worth our time to give him an audience," says Lee, who encourages opponents to keep challenging his falsehoods. "When you take away the lie, there is no foundation for President Trump."

Lee also challenges Trump's claims about non-citizen voting, which experts say is exceedingly rare, and the decision by Republican House leadership to deny honors to the late Reverend Jesse Jackson at the Capitol following the civil rights icon's death.

1. So what I'm learning this morning is that Democrat's fell for the tRump trap, he used them as props, a planned

humiliation. Optics is everything and I wish Democrats would quit doing business as usual and start playing dirty, go to war against the fascist tRump regime and the terrorist GOP. They should have started by not going to hitlers liefest.

2. I don't think the Democrats who attended allowed this to be "business as usual,"

they got to *rump, and their counter messaging was effective.

I'm a supporter of either attend and resist or don't attend and resist.
