Washington (CNN) A growing number of Democratic lawmakers are boycotting President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, particularly after revelations of Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 election and his rebuke of civil rights icon John Lewis on Saturday.
I will NOT attend the inauguration of @realDonaldTrump. When you insult @repjohnlewis , you insult America.
It is with a heavy heart and deep personal conviction that I have decided not to attend the #TrumpInauguration on January 20, 2017.
. @realDonaldTrump : @repjohnlewis stands for best of everything in America. If anyone knows about action not words, it’s him. #ImWithJohn
After reading classified Russian hacking doc & @realDonaldTrump offensive tweets to @repjohnlewis I will not be attending the Inauguration. pic.twitter.com/wrEeGfqjrZ
As I told @JoyAnnReid , I will not be attending #Inauguration. I will be at home in Cleveland. #IStandWithJohnLewis
I never ever contemplated attending the inauguration or any activities associated w/ @realDonaldTrump. I wouldn’t waste my time.
