From Congressman Donald Payne Jr., who represents Maplewood, on Tuesday:
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Donald
M. Payne, Jr. (NJ-10) issued the following
statement today announcing his decision to
boycott President-elect Donald Trump's
inauguration:
"I have the deepest respect for the office of the presidency,
something that cannot be said for President-elect Trump.
His actions and statements have consistently been
below the dignity of the office, and there's no indication that
will change. Donald Trump will be our president, and I will
work with him if my values permit, and if doing so is in the
best interest of my constituents and the nation. But I will not
celebrate his swearing-in to an office that he has proven unfit
to hold."
