Republicans have boycotted Democratic presidents' State of the Union addresses on multiple occasions:
- 1999 Clinton: At least 4 GOP House members (Shadegg, Schaffer, Barr, Tancredo) skipped it post-impeachment.
- 2012 Obama: Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) boycotted over policy disputes.
- 2022 Biden: At least 8 Republicans (Sens. Rubio, Hawley, Cotton; Reps. Clyde, Roy, Good, Massie, Rosendale) skipped over COVID testing rules.
- 2023 Biden: Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) boycotted, calling it listening to "lies."

Trump Wants U.C.L.A. to Pay $1 Billion to Restore Its Research Funding https://t.co/etxc3gABku Help me understand this. The fascist regime that kidnaps people with tats, doesn’t give them due process and transports them to labor camps wants to extort USLA due to civil rights?
A sad moment for the Senate and the country.
Republicans just confirmed Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
Yes, the same Judge Jeanine that even Fox News said was “crazy” and had to take off the air.
