Congresswoman will boycott inauguration, lest she 'normalize' Trump

One member of Congress definitely will not be attending President-elect Trump’s inauguration, the Boston Globe reports. She says it’s because she doesn’t want to “normalize” him.

In a break from tradition and from the rest of the Massachusetts congressional delegation, Representative Katherine Clark plans to boycott the upcoming inauguration of Republican President-elect Donald Trump as a form of ceremonial protest.

Clark, whose district includes many of the northern and western suburbs of Boston, said she believes attending the inauguration would “normalize” Trump’s promotion of “bigoted, misogynist, anti-Semitic, and racist claims.”
