... The offices of Reps. John Lewis and Hank Johnson confirmed to The Hill Thursday that they would not be in attendance on Feb. 5.

“I have a problem with defiling the Speaker’s chair in the House of Representatives,” Johnson told AJC. “I don’t want to see it lowered, as is what happens when Donald Trump comes to our floor and starts talking about groups of people, particularly Latinos, and disparaging them as a people” ...

Civil rights hero Lewis is continuing his standing boycott of Trump's speeches.

Lewis was also one of the many Democrats to not attend the annual speech last year ...

1. It would be fitting if he gave a SOTU and nobody came

Though I am interested in hearing from Stacey Abrams.

2. We could still hear from Stacey Abrams.

It would be so great if no one showed up for the maggot but tuned in to hear Stacy!!! Just imagine that.

(I should be ashamed about how much pleasure it gives me to even think about such things. Lol.)

3. He may not get zero viewers, but I'd be willing to bet that Stacey Abrams gets more

We've all heard more than enough of his cringeworthy buffoonery, but Stacey Abrams has something to say - and it's likely to be fresh and interesting, something we haven't heard before!

4. I hope the Congressional Democrats

stay away from the aisle when Trump walks down. Let Trump shake hands with the other TRUMpublicans. 😡
