Rep. McNerney Says He Will Skip Presidential Inauguration

by ECT

Congressman Jerry McNerney (CA-09) issued the following statement today regarding the upcoming presidential inauguration as he joins at least 40-Democrats who are skipping the Presidential Inauguration of Donald Trump.

“I will not be attending the inauguration of President-Elect Donald Trump on January 20th.  Instead, I will be in my district serving my constituents, as I was elected to do. 

“The election of Mr. Trump lacks legitimacy due to Russian hacking, which Mr. Trump encouraged, the FBI’s biased involvement, and other irregularities, and I cannot sanction the inauguration by attending the ceremony. However, because I support the peaceful transition of power and respect the office of the presidency, I will work with the new administration when possible to deliver for my district and move our country forward.” 

Rep. Jerry McNerney proudly serves the constituents of California’s 9th Congressional District that includes portions of San Joaquin, Contra Costa, and Sacramento Counties. For more information on Rep. McNerney’s work, follow him on Facebook and on Twitter @RepMcNerney.

Mister McNerney is my Congressman and I will support him in as I have voted for him. I was in Tracy California years ago, but now I am closer to the California Bay and he is still with me. I have had good health insurance since I was there then.

I was not much for Obama in my past years as I was afraid for my health and his ‘overreach’ and I did NOT like his. But now I am not certain that Mister Trump will make Mister Ryan to keep my health’s insurance. I do not know….. I want to like Mister Trump, but some of his writings is not clear and right to me. I am not CERTAIN and am afraid for my health!

But if Mister McNerney will help to tell Mister Trump to not take away my health insurance then I will be happy for Mister McNerney to do what he needs to do. I do not think that Mister Trump is to draining the swamp for what I need. But I may not be certain. The news is confusing me, so I do not know. I hope Mister Trump will make things good for us as I hear on the radio.

I may be wrong. I do not know what is for sure. Please do not attack me, I am not a voter data hacker, but please help me to think and see things correct.

I think that to just keep my health’s Insurance and all will be okay with me! Thank you!!
