Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) sparked outrage among a crowd of homeless Americans late last week when she told them to 'go home' during a tense confrontation in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Times, which reported on the incident, claimed the the 83-year-old progressive congresswoman tried to stop the outlet from publishing the story by warning its investigative reporter they would 'hurt' themselves and the community.
She then erupted at activist who confronted her on the failings of California's housing system, the video obtained by the Times shows.
'Excuse me, there’s nobody in Washington who works for their people any f***ing harder than I do. I don’t want to hear this. No, no, no,' Waters said angrily.
Waters had reportedly been trying to subdue a riled-up group of people who had come to a nonprofit advocacy group's event, misled by a social media post into believing they could obtain Section 8 vouchers for permanent subsidized housing.
Fathers and Mothers Who Care, the group which opened its South Los Angeles office to help California's homeless get emergency shelter, found itself swamped with 'hundreds of people' who were frustrated and growing unruly.
On Friday Waters told the crowd, 'you cannot get Section 8 vouchers here.'
Later, she told them to 'go home,' and fury broke out.
'We don’t got no home, that’s why we’re here. What home we gonna go to?' one person in the crowd yelled.
Others attempted to turn Waters' attention to how many people were already gathered there, and had been for hours.
'Nothing more is going to happen here today,' Waters said, waving her arms.
Someone else called: 'Miss Maxine, you need to work with me.'

What a simple-yet-elegant solution to the homeless problem!
Regards,
Democrats did this because there are too many people for the available jobs in the U.S. But it’s not the illegal aliens that end up on the street, it’s American citizens.
It has a wig.
Actually, telling homeless people there is free shit at every Dem appearance is a great way to get them to show their “compassion” to everyone.
I’m surprised she didn’t tell them to go buy an electric car on the way home.
Marxine should open her multi-million dollar mansion to the homeless people.
Despicable, vile woman.
What she should have said was. “You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.” Probably what she meant - maybe the James Brown was too tight and cut off the thought process, so all she could do was channel her inner Biden.
Another example of a Democrat who entered Congress middle class and somehow ended up rich performing “public service”.
You cannot get Section 8 vouchers here we ran out of other peoples money fear not Joey has new taxes coming.
