Republican Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) will not be attending Democrat President Joe Biden’s upcoming State of the Union Address because she doesn’t want to “listen to him lie about the damage he has caused to our country while the left-wing media and members of Congress applaud his lies.”

Miller released a statement where she references Biden’s comments about retaining classified documents as vice president, his family’s business dealings with China, and gas prices.

“Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped up President Trump’s State of the Union Address, which celebrated a secure border, support for our military, and American energy independence,” Miller said.

“Joe Biden’s presidency has been filled with lie after lie, especially lies about the border being secure, inflation being temporary, and the DOJ targeting parents for attending school board meetings.

“I will not be attending Biden’s State of the Union to listen to him lie about the damage he has caused to our country while the left-wing media and members of Congress applaud his lies.

“I will be giving my guest ticket to Air Force Colonel (Ret) Mark A. Hurley of Sherman, Illinois, who retired from the military because of Biden’s unjust COVID vaccine mandate.

“Biden has still failed to provide accountability for his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan more than two years ago.”

Hurley said:

“It’s an honor to be able to personally thank Congresswoman Miller and Speaker McCarthy for their efforts to end the COVID vaccine requirement for military members.
