The list of Democratic lawmakers boycotting the upcoming State of the Union is growing

"Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal of Washington has added her name to the growing list of Democratic lawmakers boycotting President Trump's State of the Union address on Jan. 30.

" 'Instead, we'll focus on the State of OUR Union, our opposition to his agenda, and we will lift up a progressive and inclusive vision of our country," U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal said on Twitter.

"She accused the president of "fueling the flames of divisiveness" and said it was "absolutely unacceptable to see the racism and hatred coming out of the White House." . . .

White Supremacist, KKK Member Running for Office as Democrat

But Abarr going Democrat is yet another opportunity to remind us of the long and intimate history between the Ku Klux Klan and the Democratic Party, which the Dems keep trying to deny.

"In fairness, Abarr did run as a Republican, famously chalking up his decision to run as an attempt to "save the white race" following the election of Barack Obama. But he lost.

So now he's back as a Democrat, which bothers Democrats -- but it shouldn't. After all, the ties between Democrats and the Klan are well-known historical fact. For example, the last Klan member elected to Congress was Sen. Robert Byrd, a Democrat with close ties to the Clintons.

"Abarr has apparently learned that an outright racist message won't work anymore, so he has apologized "for promoting bigotry and hate against minorities." He also claimed that his attempt to recruit minorities into the Klan was a stunt he pulled in conjunction with a company that owns several newspapers in the state. Maybe, maybe not."
