Maxine Waters owed an apology from top Dems for not protecting her against Trump verbal attacks (tr)

Black female leaders and allies are blasting House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for what they see as their “failure” to protect Rep. Maxine Waters from “unwarranted attacks from the Trump administration and others in the GOP.”

“We write to share our profound indignation and deep disappointment over your recent failure to protect Congresswoman Waters from unwarranted attacks from the Trump Administration and others in the GOP,” the group of nearly 200 women wrote in a letter sent Tuesday. “That failure was further compounded by your decision to unfairly deride her as being ‘uncivil’ and ‘un-American.’”

“In doing so, we believe this mischaracterizes her call to action for peaceful democratic assembly and the exercise of her constitutional rights to free speech in support of defenseless immigrant children and their families,” the women wrote.

The group of black female leaders includes activists, religious leaders, academics, local elected officials, and some men.

“Disparaging or failing to support Congresswoman Waters is an affront to her and Black women across the country and telegraphs a message that the Democratic Party can ill afford: that it does not respect Black women’s leadership and political power and discounts the impact of Black women and millennial voters,” the women wrote.

Yesterday some girl tried to climb the Statue of Limitations
and I think she got to the mute point before authorities stopped her.

Choice: Make Maxine Water’s supporters happy (who’ll vote straight D tickets until they die) or MAYBE signal to some voters that not every Democrat is so bat**** insane; something which has been sending quite a few people over to Trump’s camp of all things.

Well, fluoride, GMOs and heavy metals could explain why she has a low IQ.

Where the hell did they find “200 black female leaders” and why don’t the “top dems” just send Mad Maxi and IOU?

His may be unwarranted attacks, who knows? Here is my statement for which no apology will be given:

Maxine Waters should be tried for treason and attempting to illegally overthrow a lawfully conducted presidential election. When found guilty, she should be hanged by the neck until dead.

Come get some.

I want her brought to Congress, asked under oath, regarding her comment few years ago that Obama has a huge, huge database, information on everyone.

But, only those men who identify as black women.../S

What a pathetic group of black women this is. What they are actually saying is Blacks must be supported and agreed with no matter how obnoxious, wrong and vile they act or speak. I.E. they are a special class who must be treated specially. B.S.

Yeah that is ridiculous. Nobody deserves special treatment because of their race.

Trump’s latest ploy is to declare Maxine Waters the new leader of the Democrat Party ... he did that this evening at his Montana rally ... the same rally he trashed the living shite out of Jon Tester ... but declaring Maxine the new Democrat leader is an absolute masterstroke ... Maxine can hardly eschew the accolade given her huge ego and tiny IQ, and the REAL leaders like Chuck and Nancy can’t protest either, because they’ll be declared racists while at the same time drawing attention to the whole meme ... Trump is a master manipulator in a class all his own ...
