One of President Donald Trump’s fiercest critics on Capitol Hill will address the country just after next Tuesday’s State of the Union.
Rep. Maxine Waters, a California Democrat, will speak at the top of a BET News special after Trump delivers the State of the Union, a BET spokesperson told BuzzFeed News. The program, “Angela Rye’s State of the Union,” is part of a broader partnership announced just days ago between the network and the Democratic strategist and political commentator. Rye will executive produce news programs with a sharp focus on issues facing black Americans. The programs will run quarterly, BET said in a release.
The spokesperson said activists and some elected officials will analyze Trump’s first year in office on the program, and will talk about "building black politics and the value of engagement across today’s socio-political landscape." A Democratic source familiar with the production on Friday night told BuzzFeed News that it wasn't immediately clear if the program would air on Tuesday or Wednesday night.
Trump has recently taken to highlighting how well he believes black Americans are doing under his presidency, tweeting earlier this month that he was "so happy" that black joblessness was plummeting. Earlier this month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said the rate had fallen below 7%, but analysts disagree over how much credit, if any, Trump deserves for that drop. Black lawmakers certainly don’t think he deserves that credit, and some plan to let him know that Tuesday by boycotting his speech.

Otherwise known as the blind leading the blind.
So, at BET pointing your scrawny finger in the air screaming “impeach 45” while flinging poo is considered a rebuttal. Good to know.
I’m gonna say there are going to be some hilarious excerpts from Crazy Maxine.
What is need is a white entertainment television channel.....
Had thee same question.
Bitches Entertainment Network.
Thank you, all the more reason not to watch.
They always had Liberia and it's still there.
Let me see. Trump only helps rich white racists. Because they are the only people who care about the economy and attempt to invest and save for their families. Pretty racist.
Bet even BET’s ratings drop within moments of that lunatic speaking.
Keep putting her out their ! 2018 midterms a cake walk.
The comedic State of The Union on BET...BET should roast her with a few of her ilk...The coasters should be Shelia Jackson-Lee, Cyndy McKenna, Frederica Wilson, Jessie Jackson (both), Al Sharpton, Hank Johnson, and a few others from the CBC..
I will not be watching.

Priceless! Blacks are starting to prosper under Trump and she’s gonna tell them why they should be pissed off and/or depressed....try to ensure they’ll never be satisfied with life - kind of like some of our very own concern trolls...no matter how good reality gets, there’s always at least one thing that keeps it from being perfect so the other 98% of good stuff can’t be enjoyed.
