Essence ^ | November 14, 2017 | Christina Coleman

Before Maxine Waters (D-CA) ever went viral for reclaiming her time at a congressional hearing this summer, she was advocating for constituents domestically and globally.

That’s what makes her rise to popularity within social media feel familiar — she’s been about this life, battling injustice, inequality and systematic silencing for over 40 years. So when she delivered the now-famous line in a House Financial Services committee hearing in August after Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin attempted to filibuster her, it was business as usual.

“battling injustice, inequality and systematic silencing “
A little peek into the severely deluded mind of the radical, America-hating separatists.

Getting your pic on the cover of America’s prominent magazines is a dishonor, not an honor, as they would have it.

Because the most corrupt Congressperson ever is the new heartbeat of the democrat party!

Maxine Waters Named Most Corrupt Member of Congress 4 Times

By Gabrielle Seunagal

Maxine Waters was elected to Congress in the year of 1990. During her time in Congress, her family has made over a million dollars in revenue from Waters’ government connections. Throughout Waters’ 27 years in Congress, she only managed to pass three bills: a Haiti relief bill, the renaming of a post office, and a modification of the national flood insurance program. Additionally, Waters failed to gain much popularity in Congress. Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics in Washington labeled her as the most corrupt member in Congress during the years of 2005, 2006, 2009, and 2011.

Do you realize that she beat out Hillary "The Crook" Clinton for three of those years? Way to go, Mad Maxine!

“battling injustice, inequality and systematic silencing “


The only inequality she has battled is that which stopped her from getting rich.

The only systemic silencing is her conservative critics.

Someone, someday is going to look into the financial records of her & her banker husband.

Also—she does NOT live in the district she ‘represents’.
