Is Rep. Maxine Waters Fit to Serve as Chair of House Financial Services Committee?
Townhall ^ | December 28, 2018 | Zachary Petrizzo

As the leadership in the House of Representatives is soon to be turned over to Democratic control come the new year, predetermined members are set to take the reigns of power. Members include the soon to be Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the one and only Representative Maxine Waters - who is set to take over as Chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee for the 116th Congress.

Last Friday, Waters wrote in a statement, “I am honored to have been selected by my colleagues to be the first Chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee in the 116th Congress."

Here are a few reasons why Representative Waters holding the Chairwomen responsibilities would result in absolute chaos.

Along with Rep. Waters's frequent rants, temper tantrums, and directing violence against her political targets, most notably President Trump and administration officials, she has also held suspicious special interest ties of her own.

Many of those ties include "pay-to-play" politics which entailed setting up "meetings" for OneUnited Bank, which ironically her husband owned stock in, with the U.S. Treasury. While there were no findings by the investigation, which was reported back in 2012, Waters to this day has faced fair questioning regarding her ties to banks and investments which she claims to have used to purchase a lavish multi-million dollar home, which lies outside of her congressional district in California.

What a mockery of the republic. Radically ignorant? She doesn’t know and doesn’t know that she doesn’t know.

Of course she isn't. She knows absolutely nothing about economics, she is an imbecile.

Of course not. She is a moron, unfit for any position of power.

Which is just what her backers wanted. You did not supposed that she got elected on her own skills and talents did you?

She will say lots of stupid things that won't matter at all. She will vote exactly in the manner that her backers want her to vote, and then take the payoffs that they give to her. Keep track of her backers (not the people who supposedly voted for her) - they are the people who count.

See also: Occasio-Cortez, for a younger, better-looking example of the same phenomenon.

She’d cut the mil to nothing, end all space related agencies civilian or military, close the intel community and open a B&B for the homeless with what was left after she took her cut.

“Is there anyone worried her bills will pass the Senate or Trump veto?” Nope, no worries here. In fact, we might as well have some fun being nothing will be done for the next two years anyway. Can’t wait, 😂...

Maxine Waters on C-SPAN in 2003: Regarding attempts to fix catastrophic faults with Freddie Mac And Fannie Mae: "Trying to fix something that isn't broke" and "We do not have a problem at Freddie Mac and particularly at Fannie Mae, where, under the outstanding leadership of Frank Raines"

There were people trying to warn that there were real problems back in 2003 with the mortgage industry, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but Maxine Waters, Barney Frank and his Leftist friends were taking the exact opposite approach by saying publicly and often that there was no problem, and any insinuation that problems exist was due to racism and/or greed.

Barney Frank on C-SPAN: Don't focus on safety and soundness.

It is simply astonishing. Waters, Frank, and their son of a bitch crooked scum like Franklin Delano Raines have never been called to account for this. They simply took their money and ran. Even the pond-scum Franklin Raines had to pay a $27 million dollar fine (which was a drop in the bucket, and he kept all the rest of his ill-gotten gains) came out rich and not only remained that way while millions had their savings wiped out, they get cushy jobs, kept their standing, and appear as talking heads in the media.

If there were any justice, these people would be in jail for life at a minimum, or better, released into the custody of people whose lives they destroyed to do with as they see fit. But there is no justice, just a citizenry out trillions of dollars and crooks who party onward with their fortune and reputations intact, including Maxine Waters.

Remember when she mumbled into a microphone on TV loud enough for people to hear before she caught herself, that she was going to socialize (nationalize) the oil companies in a hearing with five oil company executives?

That's her credentials for this committee job. She's a commie. Maduro in blackface.

That's required nowadays to be a democRAT.
