Representatives Disrespect Constituents By Boycotting SOTU

It has been over a week ago that Donald Trump gave his State of The Union address and something has been bugging me. That something was all of the Democrats that boycotted Trump's speech and the reasons why they did so. Did they all forget that they have a DUTY to attend the speech even of someone they completely disagree with because they are there to represent EVERYONE in their districts? Did they forget that if you want to do what is best for your people that you need to listen to opposing views to make sure that the best interests and actions are being addressed for your districts? And, did they forget that they were elected to do a job that requires getting down and dirty to make sure the best interests of their districts were followed?


Here is an article from Heavy.com that lists the members of Congress that refused to show up and why:

https://heavy.com/news/2018/01/democrats-not-attending-boycotting-state-of-the-union/


Those members of Congress were Rep. Earl Blumenauer, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Rep. John Lewis, Rep. Maxine Waters, Rep. Frederica Wilson, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Rep Gregory Meeks, Rep. Bobby Rush, Rep. Danny Davis, and Rep. Albiro Sires. These members of Congress did not give illness or some other reasonable excuse for why they weren't attending. Instead, they claimed it was because of Donald Trump himself and his comments. That shows that NONE of them are responsible enough or really respectful enough of their voters to even show up to work on the behalf of their constituents. So, they don't like or respect Trump; but even that shouldn't prevent you from showing up to listen to what he had to say as his agenda directly affects EVERYONE in the United States.


Frankly, this lack of respect for the constituents of their districts shows that they do not deserve to be in office and should be voted out at the very least in the primaries for their respective districts this year. Or, they should immediately resign due to their lack of fitness to do their duties to their constituents.

These classless, ungrateful haters are an embarrassment to America. They are a product of decades of self loathing and class envy. The only common denominator they share is bigotry and racism. For many in this 'gang', their arrogance is the product of failed Affirmative Action.
