Maxine Waters is a corrupt, abusive politician who cares nothing for the truth. Two weeks ago, she encouraged her far-left crowd of admirers to harass Trump officials in public places. Harassments easily become violent. She knows that and so do the Democrats claiming she didn’t encourage violence. Even if she didn’t, what right do these people have to urge abuse of political opponents in restaurants, gas stations, the public square, especially when they are on their own time, with their families? Referencing the harassment of Sarah Sanders, Kristjen Nielsen, and others, she said: “I want to tell you, these members...

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) on Saturday told demonstrators in Los Angeles protesting the Trump administration’s immigration policies that anyone who shoots at the lawmaker “better shoot straight.” Waters claimed on Thursday she was forced to pull out of events in Alabama and Texas after she received death threats. “There was one very serious death threat made against me on Monday from an individual in Texas, which is why my planned speaking engagements in Texas and Alabama were cancelled (sic) this weekend,” the outspoken Trump critic said in a statement. “This is just one in several very serious threats the United...

Days after U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters appeared to endorse the harassment of Trump administration officials, one reporter announced she is pressing charges of assault against the California Democrat. Pro-Trump investigative journalist Laura Loomer wrote a blog post this week describing how she “confronted” Waters over the controversial comments. Loomer included a video of the encounter, during which she now says she was assaulted three times. “Today I filed a police report in Washington, D.C. to press charges against Congresswoman Maxine Waters for assaulting me,” she wrote on Tuesday in a subsequent blog post on Big League Politics. She went on...

Charging that Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., assaulted her, a journalist has filed a complaint with U.S. Capitol Police. BizPac Review said journalist Laura Loomer was doing to Waters what “the California Democrat urged liberals to do to Trump aides: Confront them in public.” “I filed a police report w/Capitol Police against Maxine Waters. Yesterday when I confronted her on Capitol Hill, she ASSAULTED me. She hit my hand, then she swatted me in the face twice w/her papers. I’m pressing charges,” Loomer tweeted.

"God is on OUR side!" Rep. Maxine Waters, told a cheering crowd in Los Angeles on Saturday. Those who defend Trump, she said, "know what they're doing is wrong" and Waters urged her followers to harass them. "They're not going to be able to go to a restaurant, they're not going to be able to stop at a gas station, they're not going to be able to shop at a department store," said the Congressional Black Caucus veteran. "The people are going to turn on them, they're going to protest, they're going to absolutely harass them." "Mr. President," yelled Waters,...

Is this a case of sincere regret, fear of asymmetrical application, or privilege-splaining? I’ll bet that Maxine Waters takes Door Number 3 in her response to Nancy Pelosi’s slap at Waters’ suggestion that Donald Trump’s opponents harass White House employees whenever out in public. Pelosi was careful to blame Trump for the “lack of civility,” but it’s nonetheless a shot across Waters’ bow: Nancy Pelosi rebuked fellow Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters on Monday for urging her supporters to confront Trump administration officials in their day-to-day lives.The House Democratic leader’s censure of her colleague highlights the difficult choices Democratic leaders...

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. However, asked if she would be okay with a hypothetical President Hillary Clinton dismissing Comey from his position, Waters said yes.

Out of everyone currently in Congress, I think it's safe to say that Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is having the hardest time coming to grips with Donald Trump's presidency. She skipped the inauguration, passed on Trump's address to Congress, called the Trump White House a bunch of "scumbags," and has been daydreaming over Trump's impeachment since before he was even inaugurated.Now, she's back at it again, tweeting on Tuesday morning that Trump had better "Get ready for impeachment." Get ready for impeachment.— Maxine Waters (@MaxineWaters) March 21, 2017 At the time of publishing, Waters has not followed this tweet up...

Monday on CNN’s “Newsroom,” when asked about her comments last week stating that her “greatest desire” would be to impeach President Donald Trump, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said investigations had “already started” and that some of the investigation leads to the “possibility of impeachment.” BALDWIN: You are making news today saying Donald Trump’s actions are leading himself to possible impeachment. Explain to me why you are going there two weeks into his presidency. WATERS: First of all, just let me say these are not normal times. We have a president who is creating chaos and division. So many questions about...

Friday after a classified briefing between House Democrats and FBI Director James Comey about Russian election hacking, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) went to the Capitol Hill microphones to attack Comey. "All I can tell you is the FBI director has no credibility,” Waters said, before walking away from the microphone with no further comment.

That has been a problem in my party, that when we’re in power, we’re nice. We bend over backwards to work with people. . . . Waters said she wouldn’t even bother to meet with Trump if he invited her to the White House, saying she doesn’t trust him. “I’m not going to go,” Waters said. “I have no intentions of sitting down with him … He can’t be trusted. Why should we work with someone I can’t trust? … I’m going to fight him every inch of the way.”

Ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee: Because she’s so very important, we’re sure you know that Maxine Waters (D-her own little world) is the ranking member on the House Financial Services Committee. If, somehow, you were unaware of that, don’t worry. She’ll tell you, repeatedly, in the clip below. It seems that she doesn’t care much for President-elect Donald Trump. According to Waters, he’s a loud mouth who doesn’t keep his promises and can’t be trusted. She also seems very concerned that he’s got it in for Dodd/Frank - a disastrous piece of legislation that Ms. Waters has...

House votes to overturn Supreme Court decision on eminent domainBy Pete Kasperowicz - 02/28/12 05:19 PM ET The House on Tuesday afternoon approved legislation that overturns a 2005 Supreme Court decision that affirmed the ability of states to take control of private property under the doctrine of eminent domain and hand it to another private developer. That decision, Kelo v. City of New London, led to sharp complaints in particular from Republicans, who argued that the Court ignored the normal "public use" standard. Under that standard, eminent domain was seen as permissible only when the land or property taken would...

The tumultuous ethics case against Rep. Maxine Waters, one of Los Angeles’ most enduring politicians, took another strange turn Friday as six members of the House Ethics Committee recused themselves from considering the charges against her. Committee Chairman Jo Bonner (R-Ala.) said that all five of the panel’s Republicans, including himself, and one Democrat were taking the unusual action of recusing themselves from further involvement in the long-running Waters case "out of an abundance of caution and to avoid even an appearance of unfairness." Six new House members immediately were named to the bipartisan panel to consider all matters related...

slip of the tongue reveals the true intentions of Maxine Waters (D) during a house hearing while arrogantly grilling oil executives including John Hofmeister, President of Shell Oil Company. This liberal, Maxine Waters starts to be honest by revealing herself as a Socialist, but stops, stumbles and then comes up with a more accepted answer. Oops! The guy next to her sighs with relief when she finally gets the words out America would want to hear her actually say, the lady next to him seems to be holding back her laughter. A pathetic real time revelation of the true identity...

Citing “gross misconduct,” the lawyer representing Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is asking the House Ethics Committee to dismiss all charges against his client. In a letter addressed to the chairman of the House Ethics Committee, Republican Jo Bonner of Alabama, and the committee's top Democrat, Linda Sanchez, Waters' attorney Stanley Brand cited internal documents showing a close relationship between two former committee lawyers in the case and Republican committee members, saying “any further action by the committee would be “irremediably tainted and without legal foundation.” Rep. Waters is a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee. The committee...

I have been waiting for someone prominent in politics to chat with you. People whose actions are driven by pollsters and political strategists rather than conviction are not likely to do that on my behalf. Like you, they only operate on their own behalf. Disheartening is it not? Thank you for the invitation to accompany you on your journey. As heartfelt as I know your offer is, I regret that I am unable to accept the invitation to come into your house or accompany you on your life’s journey. Maxine, I am a red, white and blue-American. That is probably...

Maxine Waters believes that the only way to get the economy going again is to spend another trillion dollars or more putting people back to work:

She’s a true democrat. We all know the democrat solution to every problem is to spend more taxpayer dollars. Rep. Maxine Waters believes we need to blow another trillion dollars to jump-start the economy. The far left politician was on Meet the Press this morning, via The Right Scoop:

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), who recently professed to a crowd in Detroit that she, and the rest of the Congressional Black Caucus, are “supportive of the President but getting tired,” has returned to work out on the Obama heavy bag some more. This time, in an appearance on “news” network MSNBC (where on-air personalities can invent fraudulent quotes with doctored video to slander presidential candidates, and yet keep their jobs), Waters declared herself low on patience for Obama’s fabulously expensive “green jobs” initiatives. “Of course, we want to be part of the new innovation and green jobs,” said Waters, who...
