Showing Original Post only (View all)Way to go Virginia Dems! This is how it's done! [View all]
Democrats in Virginia's state legislature are vowing to boycott a ceremony in Jamestown later this month celebrating the 400th anniversary of representative government in the country if President Trump attends the event.
The leaders of the Virginia House and Senate Democratic caucuses issued a statement Friday night slamming Trump and maintaining they may not note show up amid reports that the president was expected to attend the commemorative session.
"We will not be attending any part of the commemorative session where Donald Trump is in attendance. The current President does not represent the values that we would celebrate at the 400th anniversary of the oldest democratic body in the western world," the Democrats said.
We offer just three words of advice to the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation: Send Him Back, added the statement from Virginia Senate Democratic Leader Dick Saslaw and caucus Chairwoman Mamie Locke along with House Democratic Leader Eileen Filler-Corn and caucus Chairwoman Charniele Herring.

And yet zero issue with Northam and Fairfax. Get those fuckers out of office. It's embarassing.

Tell him he's not welcome. Fill the venue before he get there and tell him there is no room.
