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....

Her hair weave is on fire. She supports only certain peeps to put it out.
It’s just a job.
Easy. Hillary should have won, she any decision she made regarding Comey would have been legitimate. Trump stole the election with Russian help, so any decisions he makes - at all - are illegitimate. Democrat Power Politics 101.
It absolutely baffles me how anyone could want this brain damaged woman representing them.
Are her constituents also this dumb? Did she get her schooling in the district she represents? If so, her constituents must be as stupid as she is.
I would suspect that a quarter of the Maxine voters regularly (daily) smoke marijuana. You could put Elvis (dead for over thirty years) on the ballot there and the same crowd would vote for him.
This Is A Closely Related Question To Ask: A much more serious question is: How does conservatism, finally, make successful political inroads, throughout all of the worlds’ cities? In the U.S., whenever the GOP does win any political offices from within cities, they are, almost always, RINO Republicans! A super majority of U.S. city voters are far leftist, and the divide between the political left voters and the political right voters, within ALL U.S. cities, isn’t, even, close! If it wasn’t for the existence of the electoral college, then the political left would, always, determine who all future POTUS picks will end up being, while U.S. conservatism would, always, be a political minority!
Maybe it’s about time to reopen ethics charges against Maxine dearest so she can do a little dance for us.
“According to Chuck Neubauer and Ted Rohrlich writing in the Los Angeles Times in 2004, Maxine Waters’ relatives had made more than $1 million during the preceding eight years by doing business with companies, candidates and causes that Waters had helped. They claimed she and her husband helped a company get government bond business, and her daughter Karen Waters and son Edward Waters have profited from her connections. Waters replied that “They do their business and I do mine.”[54] Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) named Waters to its list of corrupt members of Congress in its 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2011 reports. She was accused of using her position to prevail upon officials to meet with OneUnited Bank without disclosing that she and her husband had significant stock holdings in the company.[55] Since she was on the Financial Services Committee she largely had the role of determining where TARP funds would go. $12 Million in TARP funds went to OneUnited without her ever disclosing that she had a financial stake at the company.[56][57][58] Citizens Against Government Waste named her the June 2009 Porker of the Month due to her intention to obtain an earmark for the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center.[59]”

I’m about 40 miles from her district. WAY too close.
It’s Maxine Waters who doesn’t meet the smell test. I can smell that sorry, stupid, rancid, liberal all the way over here in Florida.
Elvis is not dead. He just went home.
......”It absolutely baffles me how anyone could want this brain damaged woman representing them”......
She can’t remember from one day to the next what she says....she just blows whatever wind they give her to blow...I don’t think she has a single thought of her own.
Heck she threw her hands up a short while ago and said...
“The FBI Director has no credibility”...like the rest of them have. All just wind blowing....and that’s all it is.
“It absolutely baffles me how anyone could want this brain damaged woman representing them.”
Her district is mainly the gang-infested ‘hoods in south-central LA (CA-43). She’s loud, black and radical, and most of all despises white people. Waters termed the LA riots a “legitimate insurrection.” Hating white people all that’s needed to keep the ‘hoodrat vote.
She would probably agree with President Hillary running drugs or committing piracy on the high seas or being involved in child exploitation..oops..didn’t Hillary take money from people connected with those sorts of activities?
Because ‘Democrats’.
Why has the media elevated some old hag with a James Brown wig ?
good, solid, worthless n-word logic
The lady is bat crap crazy, but she is also making the point that Trump should have fired him way before now ..
AS DID WE ALL HERE IN FR ...
and not do it while "under investigation"
Her argument is on the face of it appearing valid.
EVERYONE IS CAUGHT UP IN RESPONDING TO "NEWS STORIES" AND NOT TO THE FACTUAL NEWS.
THAT'S why FR is so overloaded with (fake news) posts.
President Trump and Russia / Putin are in no way connected because of any voting / election collusion, but because the enemy of America floated that story a few months ago, the sycophant lamestream ran with it and now there is an entire lexicon of buzzwords that the enemy can use and the LIV (low information voter) can and will red flag themselves into thinking it is true and maybe we should do something about it.
Paul Ryan and Reince Preibis (where do they GET these names ?) are two OTHERS that we still don't understand the why they're there.
Let's be careful how we read English.
