As Donald Trump prepares to deliver his first congressional address since regaining office, various members of Congress are poised to challenge his administration's policies. Among them, Vermont Representative Becca Balint, the first openly LGBTQ+ member from her state, has decided to boycott the speech, criticizing Trump for his past falsehoods and divisive conduct. Instead of attending, she will engage with constituents in a virtual event for real-time fact-checking during the address, demonstrating a commitment to transparent dialogue on pressing issues.
I won't sit and watch him lie to the American people again.
Trump spewed lies, stoked division and fear, and made no effort to unify our country.
Instead of sitting in the House chamber, Balint will participate in a virtual event called 'Calling BS: Live-chat and Prebuttal to Trump's Address'.
There is no doubt tonight's presidential address will be more of the same.
