(CNSNews.com) - 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.
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!
Waters received a standing ovation for her impeachment pep talk.
To be sure. And what Congress says impeachment is about depends some on the political strength of the president.Congress can impeach the POTUS at any time. But the people who do it have reelection to consider.
I can see where Congressman Waters might not see that as a problem. People who got elected by patriots, on the other hand . . .
Did you read George Orwell's 1984? Two minutes of hate. He predicted it in 1948!
Hey Max!
YOU are NOT “congress”!
Your are one of 435 mouths, and size doesn’t matter.
Actually, I’m surprised she forgot the required Bill Clinton talking points, and admitted Bill Clinton lied!

now ducking for the “that’s racist” gif post.
I can guarantee that no liberal has ever read the Constitution and believed what it says.
Impeachment is about whatever the Congress says it is.
Actually this is true.
Impeachment has, is and always be a political act. It is the final check and balance on the Executive Branch.
But what Maxine forgets, it requires more than political support, it requires popular support. This is why the left went after Richard Nixon so hard. By using the media they were able to isolate Nixon and were able to set the Narrative. Watergate was just the MagGuffin, something to show why the left was bring Nixon down.
We are seeing the same tactic against President Trump, but they are not working. Several reasons, perhaps the best is the left no longer has 100% control over the narrative.
As Trump has shown he can make his case on Twitter, and there a thousands of other ways to get his message out. (To a lesser degree Trump is more likable and he is not afraid to fight back).
Until the left separates Trump from his supporters there are no Republican politician getting aboard that train. With out Republicans Impeachment is a non starter.
Ho’s don’t pick cotton
Facts are also whatever Maxine says they are!
Maxine became part of the 1 % without working ,just as a member of congress ,there’s money to be made in campaign contributions
Trump should sue her for slander.
Two scoops of ice cream then
Some one please explain to James Brown’s Wig that Comrade Sherman tried that and not even she signed on.
Democracy: Two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
Republic: A democracy where two hundred wolves and one hundred lambs elect two wolves and one lamb as their representatives to vote on what to have for lunch.
Constitutional Republic: A republic with a Constitution guaranteeing that lamb is not on the lunch menu. Eventually, the Supreme Court rulesfive wolves to four lambs--that mutton is not the same as lamb.
The monopoly power to make the laws, enforce the laws, decide what the law means, and how it applies to specific cases, can be, will be, and has been used to make Constitutions and democratic elections irrelevant.
A high crime in our3 day is a felony and a misdemeanor is criminalized behavior that is not a felony. Easiest way to understand it in 1787 terms is in the context of how important honor was in that era. Anything that would dishonor a man’s reputation and/or office could be a high crime.
Maxine should run for president. Now THAT would be fun.
Interesting entry for the historical meaning, background in English law, usage, and current use of "High Crimes and Misdemeanours" at Wiki.
Is it time to kick california out of the union yet?
If california is aspiring to be the equivalent of north korea to the US, we don’t want you.
At this point, thd other 49 states could care less how much you contribute in federal taxes.
You are not worth the problems you cause the US anymore.
Other states are bad, but the sheer insanity coming out of california sets the bar for bat shit crazy.
Unfortunately for her, Congress can’t manage a lemonade stand.
If any of you haven’t seen her speech at the University of Florida you must see it. It’s comedy gold.
She pronounces the word “coach” as corch. Hilarious.
