Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) is one of a group of Democrats who will be boycotting President Trump's State of the Union address.

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.
