Maxine Waters loves to talk about millennials, and she’s apparently adopted some of their traits, too.
The California congresswoman made an appearance on Bloomberg TV on Thursday and her definition of “high crimes and misdemeanors” — the standard for impeaching a president of the United States — appears to be lowering.
When asked what she hopes to achieve with her frequent “Impeach 45” chants around the country, Waters responded, “I have learned over the years that I’ve been in this business that there a few people who are willing to speak truth to power and to talk about what really is bothering our society and our democracy.
“It is not thought well of to step outside of that box,” Waters said.
“When I talk about impeachment, I describe what I think about this president. I think he’s deplorable and I think he defined himself in the campaign the way that he mocked and mimicked a disabled journalist, the way he talked about grabbing women by their private parts,” she said.
“The way he called names of his peers, etc., etc.,” Waters told Bloomberg, apparently referring to his Republican primary opponents.
“I think that’s unacceptable, and for people to allow this kind of behavior to be normalized is beyond what I believe our democracy should be all about, and so I encourage people and I inspire people and I show people that you don’t have to be intimidated. You don’t have to be afraid and you don’t have to be traditional,” she said.
“You need to step outside of the box and tell it like it is. That’s what I do.
“Everywhere I go, I say, ‘Impeach 45.'”
She added Trump should be impeached because “there’s a belief that there has been collusion” with Russia.
“It’s all there,” she insisted.
As ABC notes, “When it comes to impeachment, the Constitution lists ‘treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors,’ as justification for the proceedings…”
Name-calling is now a high crime?
Fair enough. Impeach Maxine—for being ugly!!
Limited vocabulary directly linked to limited intelligence.
President Truman threatened to beat up a Theater Critic.
He also Nuked 200,000 Japanese Civilians.
Anyone remember the Republicans calling for his Impeachment?
What a joke of a congresscritter (aka, swamp denizen).
The House can impeach the president for any old reason. And if the Democrats take the House back in 2018, I think impeachment would be quite possible. Only a simple majority is needed. And today’s Democrats are not your grandfather’s Democrats.
But the Senate would not convict, as that takes a 2/3 vote. I don’t think the Deep State has enough power to pull that off, yet.
Here are the counts described in Maxine Waters’ Trump impeachment petition:
1. Name calling
2. Did not close cover before striking
3. Lathered, rinsed but didn’t repeat
4. Removed tags from pillows
5. Threw out soda bottles and did not return for redemption
Maxine/Fauxcahantos 2020.
Resist,impeach,assault, attempt to murder- time to adopt those evil ways.
I sure loved her dad the Creature from the Black Lagoon
Stalinists don’t care about the reason, just the outcome.
6.Trump did not close the html tags while using free republic
