Trump calls Maxine Waters the new 'face of the Democrats' |
2018-06-27 |
[POLITICO] President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... declared on Tuesday that Rep. Maxine Waters ![]() '>Comrade Maxine Waters is now "the face of the Democrats," pushing forward a budding feud with the Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, congresswoman who last weekend urged opponents of the president to protest members of his Cabinet wherever they encounter them. Trump appeared eager to tie Waters’ remarks to the rest of the Democratic Party, even though party leaders, including House Minority Leader ![]() San Fran NanPelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace... (D-Calif.), have sought to distance themselves from her comments. "The face of the Democrats is now Comrade Maxine Waters who, together with Nancy Pelosi, have established a fine leadership team," the president wrote on Twitter on Tuesday morning. "They should always stay together and lead the Democrats, who want Open Borders and Unlimited Crime, well into the future....and pick Crooked Hillary for Pres." Trump's social media post was the latest salvo in the back-and-forth between himself and Waters, who on Monday denied that she had encouraged anyone to "harm" Trump administration officials ‐ as the president suggested she had ‐ and accused Trump of twisting her words. "I believe in peaceful, very peaceful protests," she told news hounds on Capitol Hill, according to CNN. "I have not called for the harm of anybody. This President has lied again when he's saying that I've called for harm." Waters (D-Calif.) said in a speech Saturday in Los Angeles: "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 and you push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere" Those remarks drew criticism from allies of the president and prompted Trump himself to write on Twitter that Waters had "just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement." And while the California congresswoman denied she was trying to incite violence, members of her own party appeared to distance themselves from her comments, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ![]() of New York, who said Waters’ call for liberals to publicly hound Trump advisers was "not right" and "not American." "The president's tactics and behavior should never be emulated," Schumer said in a floor speech on Monday. "It should be repudiated by organized, well-informed and passionate advocacy." |

#8 Previously I thought he should go after her district, now I think it's good for the GOP to have Waters as the face of the Democrats. Treat her as if she's the most important Democrat and humiliate them in front of America by the association. Make the Democrats get rid of her themselves, if they can. Chuckle. |

#4 Well, the "face" of the Democrats has been an ass since 1880's, so I guess they're correct. |
