Cummings: I will attend Trump's inauguration

?itok=wTYo5qRU

“As millions of Americans witness the event, I want them to know that there will be Members of Congress present who will be vigilant to ensure that the Trump Administration is held to the highest ethical standards,” said Cummings.

“Our democracy is the strongest in the world because our powerful executive is checked by an equally powerful legislative branch.”

I'm disappointed in Bill and Hill for going. Obama kind of has to.

This is a matter of individual conscience, to my way of thinking. Fortunately, the choice hasn't come to me (and we're all the better for it, for reals), but if I decided to attend, I would be sure to explain to anyone who asked that I was there as a witness against this illegitimate president.
