Here's the fighting Dem spirit in action.
WASHINGTON — In a break from tradition and from the rest of the Massachusetts congressional delegation, Representative Katherine Clark plans to boycott the upcoming inauguration of Republican President-elect Donald Trump as a form of ceremonial protest.
Clark, whose district includes many of the northern and western suburbs of Boston, said she believes that attending the inauguration would “normalize” Trump’s promotion of “bigoted, misogynist, anti-Semitic, and racist claims.”
Yes, it's long-stranding tradition for members to attend the inauguration. But it's also long-standing tradition for American presidents to not be lying, racist, bigoted misogynists who emulate Russian autocrats. Some traditions have to be flouted, and this is a great time to start.
Thank you, Rep. Clark!
