Rep. Maxine Waters: 'Impeachment Is About Whatever the Congress Says It Is'

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), who previously has called for the impeachment of Donald Trump, on Thursday told a Congressional Black Caucus Town Hall on Civil Rights that she expects other members of the black community to back her up:

“Don't come here and tell me, ‘Maxine, you keep on doing what you do.’ But when you gonna give me some support?” she asked. “How many of you in your organizations have said, 'Impeach 45' ?”

Waters urged the crowd not to get hung up on what law to invoke in the impeachment process:

Impeachment is about whatever the Congress says it is. There is no law that dictates impeachment. What the Constitution says is “high crimes and misdemeanors,” and we define that.

Bill Clinton got impeached because he lied. Here you have a president, who I can tell you and guarantee you is in collusion with the Russians to undermine our democracy. Here you have a president who obstructed justice. And here you have a president who lies every day.

Thank God that the special counsel is beginning to connect the dots -- and understand Facebook's role in it and social media's role in it. When is the black community going to say, ‘Impeach him’? It's time to go after him. I don't hear you!

Don't another person come up to me and say, ‘You go, girl. No, you go!

Waters received a standing ovation for her impeachment pep talk.

"There is no law that dictates impeachment. What the Constitution says is “high crimes and misdemeanors,” and we define that."

Really? Then let's impeach Maxine.

[wyowolf]

Im not sure what’s scarier... her, or the crowd cheering her on... its like some kind of weird totalitarian state movie or something...

Or maybe its just Kalifornia...

[Michael.SF.]

Unfortunately, she is right on this one.

[HotHunt]

My, my.

A brain pickled by liberalism is a sad thing to witness.

[BenLurkin]

More racial demagoguery from this poster-person of Term Limits.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Maxine is just parroting whatever the former President and current National Community Agitator tells her to say.

[Afterguard]

Keep it up Max! She’s a gift that keeps on giving!

[bgill]

Wrong color tie and he’s out!

Someone needs to check the water in DC.

[Red Badger]

Fortunately, she has no power.

She seems to have forgotten that little item.

Of course her audience is stupider than she is, so they don’t know................

[Alberta's Child]

She IS right on this one. Impeachment is a political process, not a legal proceeding.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Morally, according to the intended interpretation of the Constitution by the writers, she is wrong.

Procedurally, and functionally, she is so right.

[Red Badger]

I think she comes by it honestly. She was born that way.

[RooRoobird20]

Maxine, you are more stupid than a giant pile of dog sh*t and you’re ten times as ugly!! Good Gawd, you are a shameful, ignorant dumb@ss disgrace.

Clearly Maxine is extreme low IQ and illiterate-—much like the fools who keep electing her. She couldn’t read or understand the Constitution if her life depended on it.

[Responsibility2nd]

Waters received a standing ovation for her impeachment pep talk.

I’d give her a Standing O also. Keep going Max. Keep going.

It’s insane idiots like her that are actually helping to speed the implosion of the Democrat Party. Her and Hillary are currently the best things we conservatives have going for us.

[Jagdgewehr]

What ever Congress we say it is.

The mind of a tyrant.

Warren-Waters 2020!....................

[SandRat]

“Here you have a president, who I can tell you and guarantee you is in collusion with the Russians to undermine our democracy. Here you have a president who obstructed justice. And here you have a president who lies every day.”

OK Maxine, PROVE IT!
If not, SHUT UP!

[Red Badger]

Stalin couldn’t have said it better.................
