Rep. Jerrold Nadler: Trump election ‘illegitimate,’ won’t attend inauguration

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, New York Democrat, said Monday he will not attend Friday’s inauguration and that he doesn’t see President-elect Donald Trump as a legitimate president even if he was legally elected.

Appearing on CNN’s “New Day,” Mr. Nadler cited Mr. Trump’s “inflammatory comments, his racist campaign, his conflicts of interest, refusal to disclose his taxes.”

He said the “last straw” was the president-elect’s “ad hominem personal attacks” on Rep. John Lewis, which came after Mr. Lewis said recently on NBC he didn’t see Mr. Trump as a “legitimate” president because of Russia’s purported involvement in the election.

What a bunch of babies. They should witness the inauguration as a members of government regardless of personal feelings. Not attending the balls and galas is a different matter.

Look at the positive side......the "undesirables", the "problem kids that never grew up", they won't be at the inauguration. Maybe ALL of these kinds of idiots will stay home. It will be a brighter day for everyone.

Who cares! The less of them idiots who don't attend makes more room for the real normal people to attend.

They'll have to prove themselves in the next four years, either following or getting out of the way, because they're surely not leading.
