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.Waters received a standing ovation for her impeachment pep talk.
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!
The display of ignorance is just staggering!
She sang a very different tune back in 1998 - I know, what a shock:
Talk is cheap.
If this crazed Marxist and her like put such flagrant disrespect for the constitution into action there will be CIVIL WAR II
Bill Clinton lied constantly.
His most despicable lie was “the era of big government is over”
But was impeached because he perjured himself under oath in a sexual harassment lawsuit in which he was the defendant.
Well ... she’s right. No one can second-guess Congress’s ability to impeach a president.
Doesn’t matter what she says! She’s still an idiot!
Maxine is at a level of stupid that even the stupid find stupid.
Don’t drink the Waters!
“Impeachment is about whatever the Congress says it is.”
Well, basically it is. SOMETHING can be construed into a violation, and Congress declare guilt accordingly.
That ignorant sl*t raises stupidity to unheard of highs.
There are amoebas with higher intellgence.
Actually, most amoebas.
No, make that all amoebas.
And people take this ignorant woman seriously? Seriously?
“And people take this ignorant woman seriously?”
Among her constituency, she is a beacon of knowledge and wisdom.
Can Congress impeach a sitting Congress-critter for gross ignorance? I think we have a test case!
She hasn’t even heard of the Constitution, let alone understanding of what actions meet the criteria of high crimes and misdemeanors. Perjury and obstruction of justice are fine, as is mishandling classified information, wiretapping private citizens, rigging elections, and a host of other offenses, as long as they are committed by Dems. She’s pure comedy gold.
What she says, at least the part in the headline is true. Congress defines “crimes and misdemeanors” and can define it any way they desire.
Stopped clock, blind squirrel and all that, but she’s right.
