Unsurprisingly, several far-left Democrats upset by President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House have already announced they will not be attending his inauguration on Monday.

Due to the bitter cold weather, the inauguration will now be held indoors, inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, instead of the traditional outdoor event.

The Washington Post shared a list of the boycotting Democrats, and wrote:

Their planned absences from the pomp, pageantry and circumstance of Inauguration Day come as Democrats lick their wounds after a bruising election season in which the party forfeited control of Washington, handing Republicans a ruling trifecta over the White House, Senate and House.

One Democrat congresswoman from Texas cited the fact that Monday is also Martin Luther King Day as one of the reasons she is refusing to attend the inauguration.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D) fumed, “The idea of celebrating someone that I consider to continuously desecrate the work and the legacy of Martin Luther King on Martin Luther King Day — it was just kind of like a double whammy and an absolute no for me. He’s never shown me anything that would be worthy of me being in attendance there instead of being with people that want to pay honor and homage to the work that was done by MLK.”

So far, the list of those who will not be attending Trump’s inauguration Monday includes:

    1. Former first lady Michelle Obama
    2. Former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California)
    3. Rep. Don Beyer (D-Virginia)
    4. Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas)
