That
is why I decided not to stand on the aisle in the House Chamber to
shake the President's hand during the joint session of Congress, as I
have done in the past through Democratic and Republican administrations
alike. This will be the first time during my 29 years in this House I
have made this decision. I have deep respect for the Presidency, and I will attend the joint
session, but that respect between the branches must be mutual. The
President has attacked the free press by calling it the enemy of the
people. He has rejected America's traditional role welcoming refugees
who have helped to make our country great. He has cozied up to Vladimir
Putin, the strongman who attacks our democracy. He has moved to gut the
Affordable Care Act.
