Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) is one of a group of Democrats who will be boycotting President Trump's State of the Union address. She says she is "shocked" by President Trump's behavior over the last year. The President says he will talk about unifying the country. When asked what she thinks about that, Rep. Waters says the idea that President Trump could unify America is "laughable." Many Congressional Democrats will be wearing black in solidarity with the ‘Times Up’ and ‘Me Too’ movements. On the Republican side, women will be wearing red, white, and blue in support of military families. Rep. Waters says it's a missed opportunity for her Republican colleagues to make a statement.
