Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), a hardcore opponent of President-elect Donald Trump, will not be attending the presidential inauguration on Monday, as Trump will be sworn back into office.
ABC News reported that Pelosi’s spokesperson confirmed she will not attend, but did not provide a reason.
Pelosi, 84, broke her hip while on a trip to Luxembourg last month, and was seen using a walker when she showed up for the electoral vote count procedure at the Capitol on January 6.
ABC News noted that Pelosi has attended 11 presidential inaugurations over her political career, but she’s skipping out on this one.
A handful of other House Democrats, including Democrat socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), are also reportedly skipping the event. Former first lady Michelle Obama is also bailing out.
Many conservatives are reacting to the news, and some have minced no words about their feelings, making it clear they don’t want her there anyway.
“Nancy Pelosi is refusing to go to Trump’s inauguration. And this just keeps getting better and better,” cheered Chad Prather.

Nancy Pelosi is the latest person to announce that she will not be attending Trump’s inauguration. This is shaping up to be the best inauguration in history. All of the traitors are removing themselves. They don’t deserve to be there anyway!

This just in: we don’t give a fuck if Nancy Pelosi isn’t coming to Trumps inauguration. We don’t want her there.

Dear Nancy Pelosi,
Don’t nobody give a fuck if your cripple ass don’t come to the Inauguration.
Fuck you and all your anti-American bullshit.
We remember when you tore up Trump’s SOTU Address.
You told us right then who your old ghetto ass is.
So stay the fuck home and drink…
