Louisville Democratic Representative John Yarmuth released a statement on his twitter account Monday regarding his decision to not attend the upcoming Presidential Inauguration. Yarmuth said in the statement that he did not make the decision lightly as the transition of power is to be honored. He continued saying that he will not be attending because he believes the office of the President deserves our respect and that respect must begin with the President-elect. Yarmuth called the President-elect’s behavior unacceptable and that his non-attendance would be his way of sending that message.
