30. They should walk out.

Mon Feb 3, 2020, 02:14 PM

Feb 2020

Walking out sends a message that we will not tolerate any more of his lies and rhetoric. Dr. MLK would not sit there and tolerate it.

I also think it should be done professionally, without yelling anything. Let our elected officials' actions speak for themselves by quietly walking out. Then, let the orange man embarrass himself and his supporters by belittling those who won't bow to his arrogance.

That's my 2 cents.
