MAXINE WATERS: Russia is out to get me!
 [TheAmericanMirror] Maxine Waters now sees a Russian behind every mailbox and lamp post.Only the Republican mailboxes and lamp posts. During an anti-Trump tirade at an urban housing event, the California congresswoman went on a stem winder about Russia and the Kremlin’s alleged love for the American president. A stem winder of the unhinged variety, that is. At one point, the paranoid Waters declared Trump has committed "obstruction of justice," and made the case for impeachment, also citing "possible collusion" with Russia. When you're done ranting, I want to revisit the "obstruction of justice" subject, OK? She theorized Russia wanted to elect Trump so he would lift sanctions to allow Russia to drill for oil in the Arctic. No way. To MAGA, the US needs to suck all the oil out of the North Pole, not Russia. President Obama created the sanctions. She claimed Trump "hates" Obama. So do I. But I don't think Obama was in control of the Arctic. "I want to tell you they absolutely hacked our Democratic National Committee‐absolutely did that," she told the audience to cheers. Not at all. Just because some Communist ideologues made the DNC look bad doesn't mean it was the Russians. "RT, which is Russian television, absolutely interfered with a speech of mine on the floor of Congress and blocked me out for 10 minutes," she bellowed, as a woman in the audience gasped, "What?!?" Strange. I wonder where it switched over. I'll have to look very carefully. "They don’t play. They mean business," Waters declared. Yep. The Russians mean business. The Dems are the ones at play. She was referring to an incident last January when C-SPAN briefly showed RT on its Internet feed. The TV broadcast wasn’t affected. Yep. The TV broadcast continued to spill hateful nonsense. C-SPAN blamed the moment on an "internal routing error." The router thought it was seeing gibberish and switched to something that made more sense. "We don’t believe that we were hacked," the network said in a statement. Thereby leaving Maxine a little wiggle room to live out her fantasy. Well played, C-SPAN, well played.
