Congressman Ro Khanna represents California's seventeenth district, better known as Silicon Valley. Despite boycotts by some of his Democratic colleagues, Rep. Khanna felt it was his 'constitutional responsibility' to attend President Trump's first State of the Union.
Congressman Khanna wore a pin in honor of Recy Taylor, an African American woman who was raped by six white men back in the 1900s. Her rapist was never convicted. The pin, worn by many members, was a symbol to stand up for all victims of sexual assault who never got justice.
Rep. Khanna said that the State of the Union makes for "good theater," but "rhetoric isn't good enough." The Congressman wants to see follow through from President Trump, who often makes checklists, but never keeps his promises.
