Democrats are sending a message to Trump and their GOP colleagues with their SOTU guests

A number of Democratic legislators will be bringing activists as their guests to Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, including “Dreamers,” local politicians, and women speaking out as part of the #MeToo movement. Tuesday’s speech will be President Trump’s first State of the Union. It comes one week after the government shuttered when the Senate failed to come to an agreement on a deal for Deferred Action Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients, known as “Dreamers.” Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI) has invited an author and history who has research and written about Taylor, while Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) is reportedly bringing a member of Taylor’s family.
