The Congressional Black Caucus is rallying behind Rep. Maxine Waters amid an escalating feud over the California Democrat’s call for protesters to confront administration officials wherever they go, while some Republicans are demanding Waters’s resignation..
In a statement Tuesday, CBC chairman Cedric L. Richmond (D-La.) issued a statement defending the 14-term lawmaker as someone who “has been a champion for justice her entire life.” He also pushed back against statements by President Trump and others who have cast Waters’s remarks at a Los Angeles rally Saturday as inciting violence.
“In exercising her constitutional right to freedom of speech at a recent rally, Congresswoman Waters did not, as she has made clear, encourage violence, like President Trump has been doing since the election,” Richmond said....

Might as well form a White Supremist caucus.
Great graphic. I actually never realized before that the only “racial caucus” that exists is the “Black Caucus,” entirely Democrat owned. Maybe blacks should wonder why such an effort is being made to keep them altogether and under the thumb of the (white) Democrats.
Then there’s the National Socialist (Pelosi, Schumer, Hillary) versus the Communists (Bernie, Fauxcohontas, etc.) conflict.
Tribal mentality.

You are correct, there IS a Hispanic Caucus. Hmmm...
This is probably my most irritating phenomenon among blacks, or any people of color. Nine times out of ten, they will back each other up, even if that person is undeniably wrong. I can understand it, in a way; it’s closing ranks, “us against them”, etc. I’m sure whites do it, too. History is full of examples on both sides. But it is wrong; it is racist to back someone just because of the color of their skin. And I don’t like racism, whether perpetrated by people of color, OR whites.
Can you imagine the outcry if there WERE a congressional white caucus? Maybe if they ever succeed in populating America with more people of color, than whites, they would allow it...(sadly, I doubt it). I wish we were ALL colorblind. But then, that’s up to each of us, black, white, and every shade in between.
The black uprising continues.
She shouldn’t be in congress. Remember how they threatened not to seat Roy Moore if he won?
Yeah, we saw the congressional black caucus in action at the last SOTU Speech, didn’t we?
It is. But years of white-guilt have the majority blind to it.
White is a color. Some might argue it's a complete lack of color but that wouldn't apply to humans. We have all kinds of color on white skin. Freckles, hair, birthmarks, and moles come to mind. Most white people have a bit of a tan look anyway. Very few pure white skinned people.
Of course, what else are they gonna do?
Maxie's days are numbered.
And here comes the race card
Similarly oriented racism.
Racist have to support each other, no one else will.
A champion for justice?
Not hardly.
She has been a grifter all of her life.
Congressional Black Communists rally behind a member of the Politburo.
