Maxine Waters just cranked the identity politics up to “max.”
The Democratic California congresswoman delivered an emotional address in Selma, Ala. on Saturday, telling her audience that she will sponsor legislation to provide African Americans with “reparations” for slavery if Democrats take back the House in this year’s midterm elections.
Waters also took aim at President Trump, criticizing his feud with Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un.
“This business about who’s the biggest, who’s the baddest, who’s got the biggest gun,” Waters said. “This president keeps edging that on. You know, he’s a bully. He has a bully mentality.”
The 79-year-old lawmaker called for a president who “not only has good sense, but understands diplomacy and understands what we need to do to have peace in this world, so that we can all look forward to the possibility where we’re someday gonna have a world that’s about peace and justice and respect for individual liberty.”
At that point, CNN commentator Angela Rye asked, “Is that your stump speech for 2020?” The audience erupted in applause.
Shortly after, a man in attendance asked Waters if she would support a reparations bill for blacks that had been sponsored by former Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), who stepped down last year amid sexual harassment allegations.
“I’ll be happy to do that,” Waters replied.
She continued:
“But let me tell you this: In order to get where we need to go on this issue and other issues, we’ve really got to understand that 2018 is important to taking back the House and taking back the Senate. And, of course, we’ve got to get the White House.
“If we want to get to the point where we can get reparations, we’ve got to have the power to do that, number one, by having a supportive president would be wonderful, but taking back the House would be absolutely wonderful. “
The Democrat went on to tout her position as the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, and vowed to “take care” of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson should Democrats gain a majority in Congress.
“But let’s understand, I need y’all to register and vote. I need to take back that House so that we can have a majority in the committee. I am the ranking member of the financial services committee that overseas Wall Street and HUD and all of that–and by the way, we gonna take care of Ben Carson, too.”
They had Odungo in the WH and had both houses of Congress but didn’t even bring up reparations, gun control or amnesty.
Why not?
Because issues are not the issue, the issue is power. Issues are just a means to power.
House doesn’t look great in that pic, bad color paint...That neighborhood though is pretty incredible. Lots of movie stars, entertainment executives...huge 100 year old houses, giant lawns, great architecture. Can’t believe the people she represents still vote for this grifter....She lives far from them in their crime ridden, poverty stricken, gang invested neighborhoods. Hope the young Republican wins.
Yeah! Send those who feel that way to South Africa.
Want a good laugh (or cry) ?
Ponder the mean collective IQ of the district that repeatedly votes this delusional lunatic into office.
Then ponder living in/near said district . . .
She wants to take money from Whites and give it to blacks. Try it, bitch!
I saw a long time ago that the goal of the left is to eliminate Whitey, after taking all his money.
Perfect.
“We be demandin’ respirations!” James Brown’s Wig talking sheet again.
Does that mean one side of Obama’s family pays the other?
No reparations, only repatriation.
Maxine is asking the black voters to give the Democrats the biggest gun so they can be the biggest and baddest bullies.
The woman is salivating for the opportunity to be the bully against Trump.
Every people group in the world has been cruelly messed over by another people group, sometime in the past. Even white Euros. It just happens. People move on (except for the arab worldview group, who keep their grudges for millennia and have canonized their grudges in a very large religious regime).
Waters is just dividing cultures and stirring hate in advance of a socialist state. Reparations is just the sharpened screwdriver she is using at the moment.
“we gonna take care of Ben Carson”
“Necklace” him?
parasitism + racism + victim card + oppression card + blame game + statism + redistributionism = initiation of force to gain the unearned and undeserved and something for nothing
Normally I’d be laughing.
But her intent is to get the racially aggrieved takers off the couch to go vote in 2020. This could do it.
It is still a very ugly house!
I say, anyone who votes for this gets airlifted to South Africa to “get their fair share”!!
Yep.
I doubt Amazon will be coming to Newark NJ (one of the sites in contention); their foreign population is lower caste (not Asians), and many of the Americans there are unemployable. On top of that, plenty of qualified Americans in the surrounding area avoid working in Newark.
Yeah! Send those who feel that way to South Africa.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Maxine need to join the 21st Century, she is still stuck in 1865.
