NBC's Peter Alexander grills Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Cali.) for her displeasure at President Trump firing FBI Director James Comey after she had announced in January that he has lost all credibility after attending a classified briefing conducted by the now-former director.
In March, Waters issued a press release that read Comey "advanced Russia's misinformation campaign."
"I do not necessarily support the president's decision," Waters said. " I think that if the president would have fired him when he first came in, he would not have to be in a position now where he is trying to make up a story about why. It does not meet the smell test."
However, in the interview Wednesday on MSNBC, asked if she would be okay with a hypothetical President Hillary Clinton dismissing Comey from his position, Waters said yes.
"If she had won the White House, I believe that given what he did to her, and what he tried to do, she should have fired him. Yes," the California Democrat said.
"So she should have fired him but had he shouldn't fire him. This is why I'm confused," Alexander said to Waters.
"No, no you're not confused," Waters told Alexander.
"I am confused," Alexander responded.
Waters tells Alexander that she does not support Trump's decision to fire Comey:
PETER ALEXANDER, NBC NEWS: You obviously have been very critical of James Comey in the past. You said that he had no credibility. I assume you support the president's decision then to fire his FBI director.
REP. MAXINE WATERS (D-CA): No, I do not necessarily support the president's decision....

Of course the people of her district as as dumb as she is. Who else would vote for this mouthy moron? She opens her mouth and stupid flows out.
She represents the high crime and high gang sections of south central Los Angles, which includes Watts, where 58 people were killed in the riots after the Rodney King verdict in 1992.
Instead of living in her own district, she lives in the affluent Hancock Park area near Beverly Hills in a multi-million dollar mansion. 70% + whites. Only 3.8% blacks.
Intelligent voters wouldn't touch Mad Maxine with a ten foot pole.
Nothing she could possibly say would surprise me. Nothing!
Her bulb has dimmed. Totally zany woman.
Figures this brain dead moron would fire the guy who saved Hillarys ass,as well as her campaign!
At least she is being honest and reveals how unqualified she is to be a U.S. Rep. She has zero concern for this country, one her personal hate-filled causes.
Good question. The answer is by cleaning them up and giving them real hope for the first time in forever. Look at montel Williams relationship with trump on this as well as Ben carson.
“I’m about 40 miles from her district. WAY too close.”
I disagree. That’s about the right distance for using nuclear artillery.
