No. 2 House Democrat on why she's skipping the SOTU
House Minority Whip Katherine Clark told ABC News she will not attend President Trump's State of the Union address tonight, making her the highest-ranking House Democrat to skip the event.
"And let me tell you why," Clark told ABC News' Linsey Davis in an exclusive interview. "What we have seen from this president is a series of lies, of disrespect for the American people. He campaigned that he would lower costs on Day 1, he would keep people safe and secure. And he has done just the opposite."
"So, I'm going to spend my evening, while he is spewing his misinformation tonight, talking to my constituents about their state of the union and how this administration is impacting them," Clark said.
