The Trump speech to Congress tonight just wouldn’t be the same. Crazy California Democrat Maxine Waters has announced she is “boycotting” Trump’s speech tonight. She will instead be looking into why Russia invaded Korea or something.
.@MaxineWaters is skipping Trump's speech to Congress. Told caucus this morning that anyone who can't sit still shouldn't go, per sources.

>Waters’s office confirmed to The Hill that she will not attend the speech, but denied that she has encouraged other members to skip as well.
The California Democrat similarly refused to attend Trump’s inauguration in January, saying she “never contemplated even going near any of those activities.” Nearly 70 other Democratic lawmakers also skipped the ceremony.
“I don’t honor him, I don’t respect him and I don’t want to be involved with him,” Waters said at the time.
Waters has positioned herself as a staunch opponent of the president. She said earlier this month that her “greatest desire is to lead [Trump] right into impeachment.”
I was really counting on Maxine Water to have the Democrat’s vulgar version of Joe Wilson. But there are plenty of crazy Democrats still left who could pull a vulgar version of Joe Wilson. Maybe that nut job in Texas Shelia Jackson-Lee.
