Sen Adam Schiff says he'll skip the State of the Union for the first time, slamming President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump is slated to deliver the State of the Union address on Tuesday night, but Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff of California said he will skip the speech for the first time.

In a video posted on Saturday, Schiff accused the president of running afoul of the "law and Constitution."

"He is ignoring court orders. He has weaponized the Justice Department to go after his enemies. He is letting loose ICE troops in our streets that are getting people killed," Schiff said.

"I've never missed one. I have always gone both to inaugurations and to States of the Union. But we cannot treat this as normal. This is not business as usual. I will not give him the audience he craves for the lies that he tells," Schiff said.

In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said, "Every Democrat in Congress tried to pass a $4 trillion dollar tax hike and voted against the working and middle class tax cuts the American people are seeing right now in their refunds. Democrats all voted against securing the border and deporting criminal illegals. Democrats all voted against modernizing our military. The list goes on. It's not a surprise that they refuse to celebrate and honor the Americans who have benefitted from the commonsense policies Republicans have governed with."
