Rep. Don Beyer (Va.)

Beyer announced on Facebook that he will skip the inauguration.

“Yes, I treasure the peaceful transition of power. Yes, I will respect the constitutional prerogatives of the presidency. But I will not be part of normalizing or legitimizing a man whose election may well have depended on the malicious foreign interference of Russia’s leaders,” he continued.

“His values and his actions are the antitheses of those I hold dear. It would be the height of hypocrisy for me to pretend to be part of his inaugural celebration.”

Blumenauer told Oregon Public Broadcasting he would miss an inauguration for the first time since his election.

“Here is a person who ran a campaign that is the antithesis of everything I’ve worked for in public service,” he said, adding that attending is “not a productive use of my time.”

Rep. Brendan Boyle (Pa.)

“The election of Donald Trump presents a challenge to my long held view of presidential inaugurations. As much as I cherish this day, can I in good conscience celebrate that which I believe is a grave mistake? Can I sit by mere yards away and applaud the desecration of the most important office in the history of the world?” Boyle said in a statement, according to CBS Philadelphia.

“After wrestling with this question for the last two months, I have concluded I cannot participate in this Inaugural celebration. I accept the decision of the people. I respect it. But I will not celebrate it.”

“Every American should respect the office of the presidency and the fact that Donald Trump will be the 45th President of the United States. But winning an election does not mean a man can show contempt for millions of Americans and then expect those very people to celebrate him," Castro said in a statement on Tuesday.

Rep. Michael Capuano (Mass.)

Rep. Judy Chu (Calif.)

"After much thought, I have decided to #StandWithJohnLewis and not attend the inauguration," she tweeted

Rep. Katherine Clark (Mass.)

Clark said she felt her presence at Trump's inauguration would serve as part of the "normalization" of Trump's actions.

“I had hoped the President-elect would use the transition period and his appointments to change course and fulfill his promise to be a President for all Americans; however, this has not been the case," Clark said in a statement on Jan. 5. "After discussions with hundreds of my constituents, I do not feel that I can contribute to the normalization of the President-elect’s divisive rhetoric by participating in the Inauguration."

"My absence is not motivated by disrespect for the office or motivated by disrespect for the government that we have in this great democracy.

"This decision is not a protest of the results of the Electoral College, but rather, an objection to the demagoguery that continues to define the incoming administration," he said in a statement.

Rep. Jared Huffman (Calif.)

In a Facebook post on Jan. 7, Huffman said he would "ordinarily" attend a presidential inauguration, regardless of which party was assuming power in the White House.

"However, there is nothing ordinary about this inauguration or the man that will be sworn-in as our next President. I do accept the election results and support the peaceful transfer of power, but it is abundantly clear to me that with Donald Trump as our President, the United States is entering a dark and very dangerous political chapter," Huffman said.

"I will do everything I can to limit the damage and the duration of this chapter, and I believe we can get through it," he added. "But I will not sit passively and politely applaud as it begins."

Rep. John Lewis (Ga.)

Lewis's boycott is perhaps the most significant. The civil rights icon is skipping a presidential inauguration for the first time since he began serving in the House 30 years ago.

He told NBC's "Meet the Press" that he doesn't think Trump is a "legitimate president" given Russia's attempts to help elect the real estate mogul.

“You cannot be at home with something that you feel that is wrong, is not right," Lewis said.

Rep. Ted Lieu (Calif.)

Lieu called the Jan. 20 ceremony "a personal decision" since no votes will be taken, adding, "While I do not dispute that Trump won the Electoral College, I cannot normalize his behavior or the disparaging and un-American statements he has made."

Rep. Grace Meng (N.Y.)

Meng said in a statement that Trump "must get the message that his antagonistic and divisive comments are unacceptable."

"We cannot tolerate attacks on women, minorities or a civil rights icon," she added.

Rep. Jerry Nadler (N.Y.)

Nadler told CNN that he cannot go "because of the president-elect’s inflammatory comments, his racist campaign, his conflicts of interest [and] his refusal to disclose his taxes." Nadler said that the “last straw” was Trump’s “ad hominem personal attacks on an icon of the civil rights movement, someone who suffered beatings and almost gave his life for this country, [Rep.] John Lewis [D-Ga.].” Rep. Donald Payne Jr. (N.J.) "Donald Trump will be our president, and I will work with him if my values permit, and if doing so is in the best interest of my constituents and the nation.

Rep. Chellie Pingree (Maine)

"President-elect Trump’s actions go beyond any kind of reasonable debate—they threaten the constitutional values our country is based on. I won’t dignify or normalize those threats by standing by at his ceremony," Pingree said in a statement Monday.

Raskin said he that for weeks he’s “assumed” he’d attend the inauguration “as a gesture of constitutionalism.” “But, as the hour approaches, I realize that I cannot bring myself to go,” he said in a Tuesday evening statement, adding that “The moral and political legitimacy of this presidency are in the gravest doubt.” “… I do not rejoice in this decision or take pride in it, any more than I would rejoice or take pride in going; the inauguration ceremony is just a fact of life now, and we must all deal with it as best we can,” he continued. Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (Calif.) “I thought long and hard about attending the Inauguration because I value our democracy and respect the office of the presidency, regardless of party. However, the disparaging remarks the President-elect has made about many groups, including women, Mexicans, and Muslims, are deeply contrary to my values. "As a result, I will not be attending the Inauguration. For the sake of our nation, and a world which looks to America for moral leadership, I hope the President-elect will change the tone of his rhetoric, and govern responsibly, respectfully, and compassionately, in accordance with our American values," she said in a statement. Rep. Raul Ruiz (Calif.)

“A real president doesn't attack the press because they ask tough questions,” Ruiz told the Desert Sun. “A real president doesn't insult and bully celebrities or everyday Americans because they disagree with him. A real president doesn't use the office to make millions more for his own wealth or his family's wealth.”

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (Ill.)

“I have decided to join the growing group of my colleagues who will not attend the Inauguration in protest of a President who used bigotry, fear, and lies to win an election that was tainted by foreign interference and voter suppression – and who intends to betray the interests of the ordinary working people who put him in office,” she tweeted.

Rep. Kurt Schrader (Ore.)

Schrader also told Oregon Public Broadcasting he wouldn’t attend Trump’s inauguration.

“I’m just not a big Trump fan. I’ve met the guy and never been impressed with him,” Schrader said. “I’ll do my best to work with him when I think he’s doing the right thing for the country. But he hasn’t proved himself to me at all yet, so I respectfully decline to freeze my ass out there in the cold for this particular ceremony.” Unlike most of the Democrats on this list, Schrader is a centrist.

She will “witness the historic transfer of power” in her district office with a group of young men from the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project, she said.

Those constituents, she noted, “feel for obvious reasons an emotional connection to Mr. Obama, but the next few years could profoundly impact their lives and it is important for them to be equally engaged.”

Connolly cited Trump’s attack on Lewis, as well as his “harmful words” and backing Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a statement announcing he would not attend the inauguration.

“His disparagement of an entire religion; his racist rants about minorities; his resurrection of white supremacy; his ridicule of the disabled; his blatant misogyny and boasting of unwanted sexual advances; his intimidation of the press; his repugnant attack on civil rights hero John Lewis; and his disturbing defense of and advocacy for Vladimir Putin - a KGB thug - threaten our democratic institutions. How can I celebrate that?”
