[FREEBEACON] Rep. Maxine Waters
U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district, and previously the 35th and 29th districts, serving since 1991, a total of 25.68017035560372 years. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the most senior of the 12 black women currently serving in the United States Congress, is a member and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Before becoming a member of Congress she served in the Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Assembly, to which she was first elected back when Disco was in flower, in 1976, which would make it 40.678116967513375 years. She has been a politician for virtually all her adult life. If she was brighter she'd be a Communist...
'>Comrade Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) on Friday accused Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz of being "racist" for saying that the Trump administration will be facing an "unfavorable" locality for a grand jury because it is "solidly Democratic" and has a "ethnic and racial composition" not favorable to Trump.Dershowitz, who has donated thousands of dollars to Democrats, told WABC radio host Rita Cosby on Friday that the new D.C. grand jury orchestrated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller is unfair to Trump.
"It gives the prosecutor a tremendous tactical advantage... the case now can be brought not in Northern Virginia, which is a swing area, sometimes Democrat, sometimes Republican... but the District of Columbia, which is always solidly Democratic and has an ethnic and racial composition that might be very unfavorable to the Trump Administration," Dershowitz said.
Cosby asked Dershowitz whether he thought the geographic move will be a disadvantage for the president. He responded, "Yes, I do."
MSNBC host Chris Hayes played some of the audio from the interview during his show and asked Waters whether the comments were "unfair."
"Oh it's absolutely unfair," Waters said. "What he is saying is ’all of those black people are there and they don't like Trump and so he's not going to get a fair trial and so they should take it out of that jurisdiction. It shouldn't be there to begin with.' I don't like that, and I'm surprised that Alan Dershowitz is talking like that."
"We will not stand for it. We will push back against that because that is absolutely racist," she said.

Sally McManus ratchets up campaign against 'racist' work-for-the-dole program
A $1.5 billion work-for-the-dole program that overwhelmingly targets Indigenous communities has been labelled racist by Australian Council of Trade Unions secretary Sally McManus, with the prominent unionist arguing the government's policy denies Aboriginal people rights enjoyed by other Australians.
In a speech to the Garma Festival on Sunday, Ms McManus will ramp up a union campaign against the Community Development Program, which covers approximately 37,000 mostly Indigenous Australians. While the ACTU has long been hostile to the CDP, the speech marks the union leader's highest-profile and clearest attack on the program since she was elected in March.
