House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA), the second-highest ranking Democrat in Congress, announced Tuesday she will boycott President Trump's State of the Union address, joining over 70 other Democrat lawmakers in a stunning display of disrespect for the American presidency.

Clark made her announcement just hours before Trump was set to deliver his address to the nation, proving once again that Democrats would rather throw partisan tantrums than listen to the President's vision for America's future.

"Rather than attend tonight's address, I will be focusing on the real issues facing Massachusetts families," Clark said in a statement that dripped with condescension toward the 47th President.

This pathetic boycott exposes the Democrat Party's true colors. While President Trump prepares to outline his America First agenda – including mass deportation of criminal illegal aliens, energy independence, and government efficiency reforms – these radical leftists are literally turning their backs on the constitutional process.

Democrats Still Can't Handle Trump's Victory

The mass boycott reveals just how triggered the Democrat establishment remains after Trump's decisive 2024 victory. Instead of working with the President to solve America's problems, they're choosing to sulk like children who didn't get their way.

Meanwhile, patriotic Americans across the country will be tuning in to hear President Trump's bold vision for his second term. From completing the border wall to unleashing American energy production, Trump's agenda puts America First – something these Democrat obstructionists clearly can't stomach.

Clark and her fellow boycotters are sending a clear message: they care more about partisan politics than serving their constituents. While Trump focuses on delivering results for working families, these Democrats are more interested in virtue signaling to their radical base.

The American people didn't elect Trump to play nice with the swamp creatures who've been undermining our country for decades. They elected him to drain the swamp – and these boycotting Democrats just proved they're part of the problem, not the solution.

Will voters in Massachusetts and across America remember this shameful display of disrespect when these Democrats come up for reelection?

This is exactly what's wrong with politics today - putting party over country! The State of the Union is about America, not your personal feelings about the President.

Absolutely right! These Democrats are showing their true colors - they hate Trump more than they love America.

Remember when Democrats used to at least pretend to respect the office of the President? My grandfather would be rolling in his grave seeing this childish behavior.

Same here. Politics used to have some dignity and respect for institutions. Not anymore with these radicals.

Boycotting the SOTU is just political theater. She knows she'll get headlines for this stunt instead of actually governing.

Clark represents Massachusetts - figures. Her constituents should be asking why she's not doing her job and listening to what the President has to say about the state of OUR union.
