WASHINGTON – Some congressional Democrats are boycotting Tuesday's State of the Union address over impeachment while those attending are trying to put the focus on health care.Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., one of the most high-profile members of the House caucus, tweeted that she could not use her presence to "normalize Trump’s lawless conduct & subversion of the Constitution.""None of this is normal, and I will not legitimize it," she tweeted.By late afternoon, several other Democrats had likewise said they would not attend the speech that comes on the eve of the Senate's expected vote to acquit Trump after the House impeached him in December.
