Several legislators have said they’ll be boycotting President Trump’s State of the Union address later this month, with Rep. Maxine Waters and Rep. John Lewis leading the charge.
One army vet who did two tours of Afghanistan tweeted on Monday that he’d be happy to take Waters’ seat.
@FoxNews Everyone please help and retweet. I would like to take Maxine Waters seats at The State Of The Union Address. If they don't want to go this Military Veteran would gladly go. I'd tell the President how much he means to myself, family, Military, and all of his supporters!

As it turns out, “Fox and Friends” picked up the tweet and broadcast it Tuesday morning.
Each Rep gets to bring one guest to the SOTU right? For every Rep that boycotts we should fill their empty seats with a Veteran. If you can’t rise above politics to attend the SOTU then at least give your seat to someone who has defended your freedom regardless of politics. https://t.co/hSnrHYjNBr

Looks as though we might find out Deplorable Vet’s real name Wednesday morning — he says he’s going to appear on “Fox and Friends.”
I want to thank everyone for their support and retweeting my tweet that was on @foxandfriends this morning! It's been confirmed I will be on @foxandfriends tomorrow AM.I will make Veterans and all of @realDonaldTrump supporters voices heard. Let's hope I get to the SOTU address! pic.twitter.com/B700VN2wdz

I think this is a great idea! I would like to see any set vacated by Democrats filled by our brave men and women of our great military. Love it.
