Rep. Maxine Waters: 'Impeachment Is About Whatever the Congress Says It Is'
CNS ^ | September 21, 2017 | 11:05 AM EDT | STAFF

(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.

Finally! A correct statement from mannequin-hair Maxine.

Now she knows how normal Americans felt during the last 8 years.

“...expects other members of the black community to back her up:”

She says what they want to hear.

She is the consummate politician.

She knows her constituency.

She knows they don’t understand laws and such.

She is the pandering queen................

“Unfortunately, she is right on this one.”

She is 100% correct. Congress can impeach and convict for any reason they damn well please.

The ONLY criteria is whether there are sufficient votes.

“She couldn’t read or understand the Constitution if her life depended on it.”

Apparently she knows more about the Constitution than you. She is correct on this matter.

Would it be wrong if I fervently prayed to Almighty God for Maxi's agonizing and immediate death? 8O)

Actually I appear to know more than you and Maxine combined. In the end, she’s too stupid /illiterate to understand that if Trump is impeached, she will get President Mike Pence, bwah hah hah!

Sure, but remember: votes are built on a foundation of political support.

The only group more cowardly than members of congress is the subversive so called deep state and its little helpers.

None of these people are able to publically confront the American people with their subversive little schemes.
