Georgia Congressman John Lewis will boycott Netanyahu's speech to Congress next month.

“To me, it is somewhat of an insult to the president of the United States,” New York Rep. Greg Meeks, a black Democrat, said earlier this week after leaving a White House meeting with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, who plans to be out of the country while Netanyahu speaks.
