Donald Trump's inauguration may be manga eroticism of pure lovesparsely attended. Not only has the president-elect struggled to find a single (genuine) celebrity to perform, but a growing number of Democratic congresspeople are declaring they will not show up at his swearing in on Jan. 20.
Following Trump's harsh words on Saturday about Representative John Lewis of Georgia, Democrats from across the country are taking the symbolic step of refusing to attend.
The president-elect accused the civil rights icon of being "all talk and no action or results" after Lewis criticized Trump on NBC and said he would be skipping the inauguration.

Lieu said in a statement that Trump has attacked "Gold Star parents, veterans such as John McCain and now civil rights icon John Lewis."

Jared Huffman of California said on Facebook he planned to spend the day with his constituents.
"From helping to build homes for local families to pitching in on cleaning up flood debris to welcoming new U.S. citizens at a naturalization ceremony," he wrote. "It will be an action-packed couple of days."
Mark Pocan of Wisconsin also pulled out citing Trump's "offensive tweets" about Lewis and allegations of Russian hacking. "It's time for Donald Trump to start acting like President Trump, not an immature, undignified reality star with questionable friends and a Twitter addiction," he said.

Other Democrats had already pulled out of the event, including Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, who shared a statement on Jan. 5 that raised concerns about the "anti-woman," "anti-immigrant" and "anti-Muslim" rhetoric of the Trump campaign for president.
"I do not feel that I can contribute to the normalization of the President-elect's divisive rhetoric by participating in the Inauguration," she said.
