Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas said Tuesday that she would “boycott” President Donald Trump’s<\/a> State of the Union speech.<\/p>\n

She blasted him as a “wannabe king” and described the present state of the union as “grim.”<\/p>\n

“Tonight, I will boycott Donald Trump’s State of the Union<\/a> address,” she said in the statement. “The American people deserve better than a low-down, scamming wannabe king who plans to stand at that podium and spew more lies; and I refuse to legitimize the weaponization of the federal government, blatant lies and corruption, and the destruction of our Constitutional principles and democratic norms.”<\/p>\n

Crockett, who is currently running in the Texas<\/a> Democratic U.S. Senate primary, said she was not sent to D.C. “to coddle Donald Trump’s ego.”<\/p>\n

“Instead of wasting time listening to Donald Trump lie to the American people, I will be back in Texas talking with families about the true state of our union: cuts to SNAP and Medicaid, rogue ICE agents on our streets, the Epstein cover-up, attacks on the First Amendment, and the unlawful tariffs that have made life too expensive for Texans,” she said in the statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She indicated that the president has an “authoritarian agenda.”<\/p>\n

“The current state of our union is grim, but it is not permanent. I will spend tonight continuing the fight to actually strengthen the State of the Union,” she said in the statement.<\/p>\n
