Trump inauguration boycott grows to 19 Democrat lawmakers: Congressmen will NOT attend after The Donald’s feud with civil rights hero John Lewis, who said he will not be a ‘legitimate President’
No less than 19 House Representatives have said they won’t attend on Friday
Six of those people objected to Trump’s dismissal of Rep John Lewis
Lewis, a civil rights icon, said he wouldn’t attend the inauguration
He was lambasted by Trump, who said the Georgia Rep was ‘all talk, no action’
Other Democrat Representatives have said they won’t attend for other reason
And non-Reps, including DNC interim chair Donna Brazile, will also skip it
Hillary and Bill Clinton will be at the inauguration, however

A growing number of Democrat lawmakers are boycotting Donald Trump’s inauguration this week, after a feud broke out between the President-elect and civil rights campaigner-turned-Representative John Lewis, who said he will not be a ‘legitimate’ President.
There are now 19 Democratic Representatives, including Lewis, saying they will spurn Trump’s swearing-in in favor of focusing on their constituents or even taking part in protests and ‘resistance’ movements.
They include four members of Congress who said they would not attend after Trump hit back at Lewis on Twitter Saturday, saying the lawmaker – who once campaigned alongside Martin Luther King Jr – was ‘all talk, no action’.
