Can I sit by mere yards away and applaud the desecration of the most important office in the history of the world? After wrestling with this question for the last two months, I have concluded I cannot participate in this Inaugural celebration.” **Oregon Rep. Earl Blumenauer** “There is unprecedented concern by my constituents about the many threats posed by a Trump administration seeking to implement the President-elect’s policies on health, environment, nuclear weapons, and immigration, to name but a few. I will forgo the inauguration, spending the day instead in my district talking with Oregonians to hear their priorities, try to answer their questions, and prepare for the coming assault on the values and programs we hold dear,” he said in a [Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/blumenauer/posts/10154800059481788) on Jan. 7\. “It is hard to think of a better use of my time on January 20th.” **Maryland Rep.

Luis Gutiérrez** “The reason I am not going is that I cannot bring myself to justify morally or intellectually the immense power we are placing in that man’s hands,” Gutiérrez [said on the House floor](https://gutierrez.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/why-i-will-not-be-inauguration-and-will-be-marching-women) on Tuesday. **California Rep.

I refuse to abide any effort to undermine a free and independent press, which serves a pivotal role in any democratic system and whose rights are guaranteed by our Constitution. I refuse to applaud for a man with a history of offensive and abusive behavior to women and minorities. I refuse to treat January 20, 2017, as business as usual. For these reasons, I have no interest in participating in the inauguration ceremony of Donald J. Trump.” **California Rep. Grace Napolitano** [The LA _Times_ reports](http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-congress-skip-inauguration-20170115-story.html) that Napolitano won’t be attending the inauguration. **Maine Rep.

Lucille Roybal-Allard** “I thought long and hard about attending the Inauguration because I value our democracy and respect the office of the presidency, regardless of party,” Roybal-Allard said in a statement Sunday. “However, the disparaging remarks the President-elect has made about many groups, including women, Mexicans, and Muslims, are deeply contrary to my values. As a result, I will not be attending the Inauguration.” **California Rep. Raul Ruiz** “A real president doesn’t attack the press because they ask tough questions,” Ruiz [told the _Desert Sun_ ](http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/politics/2017/01/16/raul-ruiz-skip-donald-trumps-inauguration/96642652/)of why he won’t attend the inauguration. “A real president doesn’t insult and bully celebrities or everyday Americans because they disagree with him. A real president doesn’t use the office to make millions more for his own wealth or his family’s wealth.” **Oregon Rep. Kurt Schrader** “I’m just not a big Trump fan. I’ve met the guy and never been impressed with him,” Schrader told [Oregon Public Broadcasting on Friday](http://www.opb.org/news/article/oregon-congressman-donald-trump-inauguration/). “I’ll do my best to work with him when I think he’s doing the right thing for the country.

I’m not going because I’d prefer to be home.” **Florida Rep. Darren Soto** “I am deeply disappointed with Trump’s attacks against civil rights hero John Lewis and will not be attending the inauguration as a result,” Soto [told WFTV](http://www.wftv.com/news/local/rep-darren-soto-to-skip-trump-inauguration-over-attack-on-civil-rights-activist/484837129). **California Rep.

I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters okay? You gotta see this guy, I don't know what I said. I don't remember. [ APPLAUSE ] Here's a guy throwing punches, nasty as hell, screaming and everything else when we're talking.
