Republicans and conservatives don’t call Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) “Mad Maxine” for nothing.
Waters has said some pretty absurd and outrageous things over her decades of “service” in Congress, including her claim during the 1992 Rodney King riots that some of the looting taking place was justifiable because mothers needed milk and new shoes for their kids.
“One lady said her children didn’t have any shoes. She just saw those shoes there, a chance for all of her children to have new shoes. Godd**n it! It was such a tear-jerker. I might have gone in and taken them for her myself,” Waters told the L.A. Times at the time.
“I have to march because my mother could not have an abortion,” Waters also infamously stated during a pro-abortion march in 2004.
Not much has changed over the years for Mad Maxine. In fact, she has inarguably gotten worse, as evidenced by an appearance she made Saturday on MSNBC’s “Ayman Reports” program, where she told the host, Ayman Mohyeldin, that there are Republican members of the House who are “domestic terrorists.”
Waters made the remarks in response to a question asked by Mohyeldin about whether there was any optimism that there could be police reform in the aftermath of the death of Memphis resident Tyre Nichols three days after he was beaten by five Memphis police officers considering that Republicans now control the House.
“I know that, you know, politicians tried to sound optimistic as much as they can but right now with the leadership that we see in the House, is there any path forward for police reform in Congress after this latest tragic killing? Give it to us straight,” he asked.
Her response:
“It’s the Marjorie Taylor Greene Republican caucus. And you heard what McCarthy said. He said he just loves her and that he is going to do everything he can to protect her, and she’s saying in so many ways and words that I own him. And so I don’t expect anything from them.
We are going to try to do everything that we possibly can. But I think, you know, that the average American person can see what is going on. We have these right-wing conservatives who are, you know, we have domestic terrorists in the House of Representatives. These people are extremists, and so I am not optimistic that that’s the way that it is going to happen until the people of this country really decide that they don’t want it, and they are not going to elect people who act in the fashion that they act.”
...
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), who was presumably one of the so-called “domestic terrorists” Waters was referring to, responded accordingly on Twitter by dropping some inconvenient truths on Mad Maxine.
“Maxine Waters says that we have House Republicans who are domestic terrorists. Interesting, as I don’t remember anyone in the House who has called for more violence than Maxine Waters,” Boebert tweeted.
As the Ben Shapiro quote goes, facts don’t care about your feelings, and Boebert was spot on in her response. Remember, Waters was the Congresswoman who unapologetically told far-left agitators during the Trump years to get in the faces of Trump cabinet members and tell them they are not welcome anywhere, ever:
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
[…]
Waters appeared on MSNBC later in the day to double down on her remarks, saying she has “no sympathy” for members of the Trump administration.
“The people are going to turn on them. They’re going to protest. They’re going to absolutely harass them until they decide that they’re going to tell the President, ‘No, I can’t hang with you.’”
...
And during the 2021 trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, she told an Antifa/BLM-led mob to “get more confrontational” if a guilty of murder verdict wasn’t handed down:
“We’re looking for a guilty verdict and we’re looking to see if all of the talk that took place and has been taking place after they saw what happened to George Floyd. If nothing does not happen, then we know that we got to not only stay in the street, but we have got to fight for justice,” she added.
Asked what protesters should do if there is no guilty verdict, Waters said protests should continue.
“We got to stay on the street. And we’ve got to get more active, we’ve got to get more confrontational. We’ve got to make sure that they know that we mean business,” she said.
That same night, someone did get “more confrontational,” firing shots at the Minnesota National Guard.
...
In summary, Mad Maxine, you might want to sit this one out. Or as you once told a group of homeless people in your district, “go home.” Just sayin’.
Mad Maxine is about to find her “Expire date”.
Bill O’rielly said Boebert will lose next time. She almost did 2 months ago. Glad she’s there. We need her but can she survive?
Well then, she’s got to kick more arse before she goes.
If only.
There are lots of democrats in that position IMO.
American politics is beginning to look a lot like "professional" wrestling.
They practice moves and pull them off in front of drooling fans.
Ha,ha. Thanks but I’ll be damned if I’m going to waste a minute of my life reading quotes from Kerosene Maxine.
That's because they rigged Mesa County HARD.
After getting rid of Tina Peters, they could do anything they wanted in that county in regards to "ballot creation".
When has O’Reilly ever been right about anything???
Mad Max wrote a letter to Castro asking him to not extradite a black female cop killer.
Very "wealthily" so too especially considereing her legislative district's never ending sad condition.
One would think, with her years of service and legislative power, some of the money she's pocketed would have ended up in her district and not her out-of-district mini-mansion.
sending jessie watters to harass and spotlight judges who let child molesters off with just probation.
Doesn't take a big time political commentator like O'Reilly to recognize why Max is skating on thin ice in her district. CA and national Dems have been gradually replacing blacks with Mexicans and others from below the border. According to the Public Policy Institute of California, 39% of Californians are Latino, 35% are white, 15% are Asian American or Pacific Islander, 5% are Black, 4% are multiracial, and fewer than 1% are Native American.
The remarkable thing is that blacks still vote about 90% for Dems even though the Dems are stabbing them in the back this way (and in multiple other ways).
I weep for all of those poor mothers that had to loot the liquor store for milk and all they could find was a bottle of gin, and all those mothers who had to loot Air Jordans for their shoeless babies.
Poster child for term limits. THIRTY YEARS
The way Colorado is going so strongly blue I wouldn’t doubt if she would lose next time. It was too close for comfort.
She certainly can’t win a statewide election in CO.
As a side note to Rep. Lauren Bobber's statement, consider that the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties have effectively wrongly nullified the constitutionally enumerated power of each House to expel members.
"Article I, Section 5, Clause 2: Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member [emphasis added]."
The bottom line...
All MAGA patriots need to wake up their RINO federal and state lawmakers by making the following clear to them.
If they don’t publicly support either a resolution, or a Constitutional Convention, to effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by amending the Constitution to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A), doing so before the primary elections in 2024, that YOU will primary them.
If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.
With 16&17A out of the way, my hope is that Trump 47 becomes the FIRST president of a truly constitutionally limited power federal government.
In the meanwhile, I'm not holding my breath for significant MAGA legislation to appear in the first 100 days of new term that may still prove to be another RINO-controlled House.
Hopefully Trump will do another round of primarying RINOs for 2024 elections.
>> That’s because they rigged Mesa County HARD.
Organized election theft should be a capital crime.
