C9-1 (political parties)
Today I read an article on CNN. This article was about how many democratic leaders are planning on boycotting president-elect, Donald Trump's, inauguration. This began to happen right after the news announced the possibility of Russia's involvement with the election and Trump's win. Some Dems even say that they will protest. Members of Congress are said to be more free than the administration therefore it is okay if they decide to boycott or protest. Many members have publicly announced their absence. Many say that it is hard to support something that does nit feel right and others say that they refuse to partake in a celebration of Donald Trump. An example of someone who will not be attending is Georgia Rep and Civil Rights activist John Lewis. After he announced that he would not be attending, Trump publicly insulted Lewis by saying that he was "all talk and no action". This angered even more people and made them decide to boycott as well. Some have even decided to attend different events in place of the inauguration for example, The Women's March in DC.
