Citing fake news story, Maxine Waters alleges treatment of Haitian asylum-seekers is ‘worse than slavery'
Washington Examiner ^ | 9/22/21 | Becket Adams

Posted on 09/23/2021 3:48:05 AM PDT by Libloather

Remember when former President Barack Obama said that for a society to be healthy and functioning, it must have a “common baseline of facts”?

Democratic Party leaders missed the memo.

Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California claimed Wednesday that the Border Patrol’s recent treatment of Haitian asylum-seekers illegally entering the United States is “worse than slavery.”

"What we witnessed takes us back hundreds of years,” the congresswoman said. “What we witnessed was worse than what we witnessed in slavery.”

She added, "Cowboys with their reins, again, whipping Black people, Haitians, into the water where they're scrambling and falling down when all they're trying to do is escape from violence in their country."

The congresswoman continued, saying she is “pissed.”

"I'm unhappy, and I'm not just unhappy with the cowboys, who were running down Haitians and using their reins to whip them," Waters said. "I'm unhappy with the administration."

"We are following the Trump policy. He is the one that does not follow the Constitution and would not allow those seeking refuge to be able to petition to get into the country," the California congresswoman claimed. "What the hell are we doing here?"

Waters didn’t leave it at just that.

The ChiCom paid propaganda machine latched onto the border patrol on horseback video to create a false narrative. Like Bull Connors siccing dogs on blacks to create sympathy for the illegal aliens. Waters is only too happy to spread the new narrative. There should be welcoming centers receiving the Hattians and no obstacles to their entry.

Note to the — cough — lovely Maxine...Haitians are not “African Americans,” at least not in the sense that the phrase has been used to bludgeon all non-black citizens of the good old USA ever since Jesse Jackson picked it up and started promulgating it back in the day. Oh, Max, I forgot. A word like promulgating is too big for you. Sorry ‘bout that.

She needs to be gone from American politics.

Never should have been there in the first place.

Angry, spiteful people are a mental disorder and should be treated, not given power.

This morning at breakfast, my eggs were cold. It was worse than slavery.

Maxine Waters know so much about slavery, and like all persons of liberal persuasion, an awful lot of what she knows for certain, just is not so.

Slavery can be exerted in ways both subtle and harsh, and what Maxine thinks she saw would be, in her eyes, harsh. But the men on horseback were not compelling the persons they were confronting to force those people to provide involuntary servitude, but to simply stop what they were doing, which was to cross into US territory without prior permission.

But once within the US, the expectation would be that the low threshold that these Haitians would be held to, is a subtle form of a a new slavery, that these people much be forever tied to the good graces of the liberal mindset, and deviation will be dealt with harshly, thus revealing the true nature of new slavery to which they are condemned.

The plantation is never far from the minds of liberals.

Yeah, Maxine’s a big stoner, and Harris is a drunk who thinks wearing a mask will help her avoid detection when she gets off the plane, Schiff is a CA zombie with benefits, Pelosi always looks and sounds like a dog shitting bones (What’s HER problem?!) and Newsome has the shoulders of a mouse. I was wondering...Does anyone know when their new album is supposed to drop?

Like everyone, I am so sick of hearing about slavery. It’s an excuse for a bunch of losers. It doesn’t matter how much we try to prop them up, they’re still the same.

With politicians like this is it really any wonder we trust none of them?

Officer Tatum used a video of a cowboy explaining the use of the reins.

Border Patrol WASN'T WHIPPING Haitian People

“... when all they’re trying to do is escape from violence in their country.”

Didn’t we learn that these Haitians have been living in South American countries, but decided to try to break into the USA illegally because of the lax Biden administration? So they already HAD escaped from the violence in Haiti, Maxine. No need to travel to the USA at all.

Meanwhile in reality the Haitians are hijacking cbp buses.

https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/haitian-invaders-have-hijacked-multiple-buses/

This is such a classic Democrat evil move to deflect, lie, attack the opposite of the evil that is their reality.

Take her for her word.

She’s black
She knows about slavery in America because she’s studied it extensively.
She knows the facts.
Haitians were treated worse that slaves in pre civil war America.

Conclusion: Slavery in America has been exaggerated. It was not even at the level of being rounded up by cowboys on horses. Now I know the truth.
