The anti-Trump:
Rep. Maxine Waters’ no-holds-barred remarks find fans
Rep. Maxine Waters doesn’t expect to pose for a
photo with President Donald Trump anytime soon.
In fact, the California congresswoman plans to boycott any meeting, event,
ceremony or public event with the president, at the White House or even in her
home district of Los Angeles.
“I don’t see myself meeting with him, sitting down with him, believing anything
he would say or even respecting anything he would say,” Waters said sternly to
The Associated Press. “It would not be honest on my part to go to any ceremonies
with him or to pretend I am having a decent conversation with him.”
And if Trump personally invited her to the White House for a conversation? “I
wouldn’t go,” she said emphatically.

April 5: Congresswoman Maxine Waters on
Wednesday night said that Fox News host Bill O’Reilly and President Donald Trump
should be locked up for alleged sexual harassment.
In an appearance on MSNBC's "All in with Chris Hayes," Waters — who has not been
quiet about
her disdain for President Donald Trump — said O’Reilly should be arrested
for alleged sexual harassment against coworkers and explained her distrust of
the Trump administration's foreign policy.
"They are two of a kind," she added. "I’m not surprised."
"It’s all catching up with Bill O’Reilly and that sexual harassment enterprise
at Fox [News],” she said in reference to the dozens of
advertisers who have said they will not buy spots during his show "The
O’Reilly Factor."

Don’t tell Maxine Waters not to talk about impeachment.
Asked about impeaching President Donald Trump on
Monday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
told CNN’s Chris Cuomo that
some of her members are pushing to remove Trump from office, but
warned, “What are the facts that you would make a case on? What are the
rules that he may have violated? If you don’t have that case, you’re just
participating in more hearsay.”
Representative Maxine Waters didn’t get the memo. Speaking Tuesday afternoon at
the liberal Center for American Progress Ideas Conference in Washington,
D.C., the California congresswoman made the impeachment case to her fellow
Democrats. “I know that there are those who are talking about ‘Well, we’re gonna
get ready for next election,’” she said. “No. We can’t wait that long. We don’t
need to wait that long. He will have destroyed this country by then. We cannot
wake up every morning to another crisis, to another scandal.”

October 12: Ben Carson appears to contradict
Donald Trump on Puerto Rico in a tense exchange with a top Democratic
congresswoman
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson and Rep. Maxine Waters
exchanged words
at
a House Financial Services Committee hearing on Thursday, and Carson
appeared to disagree with President Donald Trump's suggestion that the federal
government cannot provide aid to Puerto Rico "forever."
Waters began the hearing by asking Carson if he agreed with the assertion Trump
made
in a tweet Thursday morning that hurricane aid to Puerto Rico would not
continue indefinitely.
"I think that our job is to make sure that we take care of the disaster that has
occurred," Carson eventually responded. When Waters urged him to respond
directly to whether he thought Puerto Rico should be abandoned, Carson stated,
"Of course it should not be abandoned."
Responding to another question from Waters about Trump's accusations that Puerto
Rico is to blame for its financial crisis, Carson said, "I don't think it is
beneficial to go around shaming people in general."
Waters concluded this line of questioning by saying she was "glad to hear
[Carson doesn't] agree with the president."

"This is a man with no good values, no good intentions and no good

resistance. We cannot afford to be shut down or shut up by any man, particularly
not one as indecent and deplorable as Donald Trump."

October 28: Maxine Waters fires up Women's
Convention in Detroit with tough words
In no uncertain terms, Congresswoman Maxine Waters warned those who prey on
women to "keep your hands off" Saturday at the
Women's Convention in Detroit.
The 79-year-old Democratic icon from California, who's known for her no-filter
honesty, was greeted with a standing ovation by a crowd at the Cobo Center.
Waters was there to address a packed hall of attendees -- and to be honored for
speaking truth to power at an event titled the Sojourner Truth Luncheon.
Focusing largely on the issue of sexual harassment and assault that's
been driven by the news about movie producer Harvey Weinstein, Waters stressed
that the problem isn't limited to the entertainment industry.
Citing teachers, nurses, women serving in the military and fellow U.S.
representatives who've added their voices to the #MeToo movement, Waters
declared that such behavior toward women will not be tolerated.
"Keep your nasty comments away from us... Keep your hands off our backs and our
g--damn bodies. We're not going to take it anymore," she warned.
Waters also made it clear that she thinks President Donald Trump is part of the
problem. The grassroots women's movement grew out of concerns that rights for
women and other groups would be impacted negatively by the Trump
administration.
"This president has no respect for women," said Waters.

January 12: Rep. Waters Statement on Donald Trump’s Racist Slurs
About Immigrants
“Donald Trump is a racist and indecent man with no good values who is woefully
unfit and undeserving of the office in which he serves. That this president, a
deeply flawed human being with no understanding of public policy, would make
such ill-informed and deplorable comments about Haitians, Salvadorans, and
immigrants from African countries, merely underscores everything we already know
about him: he is a hopeless and ignorant bigot.

District show a tight race. A loss by Saccone to Democratic Marine
veteran and former prosecutor Conor Lamb would be seen as a major warning sign
for the GOP ahead of November's midterm elections.
Trump referred to the Democrat as "Lamb the sham" and said he'd vote with his
party in Washington if he's elected. Republicans have tried to tie Lamb to
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, but Lamb has said he does not support Pelosi.

March 11: Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin
on Sunday defended President Donald Trump’s new comments about Rep. Maxine
Waters, saying he “likes making funny names.”
Asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" how he would respond if a member of his own
staff made a similar comment, Mnuchin chalked up Trump’s action to the campaign
rally environment.
“I’ve been with the president and at campaigns. You know, he likes to put names
on people,” the Treasury secretary said. “He did that through the entire
presidential election, including all of the Republicans that he beat. ... These
are campaign rally issues.”

"I'm not going to run from it. I'm not intimidated by him, and so he can keep

a con man all of his life, long before he ever ran for office, and so this con
man, Con Man Don, is going to keep it up and again he's coming for me, I'm
coming for him."

uninformed, unhinged and a moron by his own staff and appointees,” Waters told a
crowd at the J.W. Marriott during the Human Rights Campaign’s annual dinner in
Los Angeles. “And so he had the nerve to attack me.”

Maxine Waters: Trump ‘Lied Again,’ I Didn’t ‘Call for Harm’
https://www.thedailybeast.com/waters-trump-lied-again-i-didnt-call-for-harm
June 25:
In an event on Saturday, California Congresswoman Maxine Waters
advocated the harassment of Trump administration officials. “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,” she said. “And you push back on
them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” She added: “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.’”
Waters’s words were ambiguously worded and she should have made clear
that she was calling for non-violent protests.
