Here are the Democrats skipping Trump's State of the Union speech

More and more Democrats are planning to skip President Trump's first State of the Union address set for Jan. 30 in the House chamber, mostly over Trump's reported opposition to taking immigrants from "shithole countries."
Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore.
Blumenauer became the first Democrat to announce that he will skip Trump's first State of the Union address and said he will remain in Oregon to meet with constituents rather than attend the speech.
"Rather than listening to another destructive, divisive speech by Trump, I will not attend this year’s annual address to Congress," Blumenauer tweeted. "Instead, like I did during his inauguration, I'll be working at home listening to Oregonians about what they think about the State of the Union!"
