Maxine Waters: I Don't Support Trump Firing Comey, I Would Support Hillary Clinton Firing Comey
Real Clear Politics ^ | May 10, 2017 | Ian Schwartz

NBC's Peter Alexander grills Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Cali.) for her displeasure at President Trump firing FBI Director James Comey after she had announced in January that he has lost all credibility after attending a classified briefing conducted by the now-former director.

In March, Waters issued a press release that read Comey "advanced Russia's misinformation campaign."

"I do not necessarily support the president's decision," Waters said. " I think that if the president would have fired him when he first came in, he would not have to be in a position now where he is trying to make up a story about why. It does not meet the smell test."

However, in the interview Wednesday on MSNBC, asked if she would be okay with a hypothetical President Hillary Clinton dismissing Comey from his position, Waters said yes.

"If she had won the White House, I believe that given what he did to her, and what he tried to do, she should have fired him. Yes," the California Democrat said.

"So she should have fired him but had he shouldn't fire him. This is why I'm confused," Alexander said to Waters.

"No, no you're not confused," Waters told Alexander.

"I am confused," Alexander responded.

Waters tells Alexander that she does not support Trump's decision to fire Comey:

PETER ALEXANDER, NBC NEWS: You obviously have been very critical of James Comey in the past. You said that he had no credibility. I assume you support the president's decision then to fire his FBI director.

REP. MAXINE WATERS (D-CA): No, I do not necessarily support the president's decision....

Kerosene Maxine hasn’t forgot how to fan the flames of a nothing burger . She is a folk hero to the delusional left and I have to say an incredible laughing stock of leftist talent . You go girl ,,, we’re all laughing at you . . .

She is out of her mind “legitimate insurrection”. I have a better idea Maxine: Don’t break the law. Don’t lead cops on a 100mph chase while high on PCP,don’t pull down your pants and tell them to kiss your ass when you get stopped, don’t charge them over and over after you get tased. The Rodney King DESERVED to get his ass beat, too bad they didn’t shoot the mofo. All those people that supported King - have they ever given the thought that those cops probably saved lives that night? If they never tried to pull him over he would have continued to keep driving blasted out of his mind and the leftists made him a millionaire while throwing the cops in jail.

Tune in to CSPAN at 6 AM if you want to see just how dumb Waters’ followers, Democrats in general, are.

Maxine Waters is a prime example that the “Bell Curve” is alive
and well.

You could put Elvis (dead for over thirty years) on the ballot...

Elvis is not dead, he just went home.

I gotta give credit to the NYC talk radio host who coined the perfect description of Maxine Waters a few years back:

"The OJ juror in Congress."

LMAO.

I wonder why there is so much of the fake news posted to FR as well. This Comey uproar is pure political theatre and the only thing it proves is as Mrs Xlinton famously said last year -

" If that son of a bitch gets in (the White House) we're all going to be swinging from nooses - you better fix this shit!"

Wait until Sessions' DOJ starts looking into congressional insider trading - many anti Trump repuglicans and democraps alike will be getting even more hysterical with these FAKE calls for impeachment

Fit her with an upper and lower lip plate and she would look like Daffy Duck too.

Doesn’t make much difference who Waters supports, the bottom line is Comey is GONE! She is an illiterate who was elected by people of her kind.

If so, her constituents must be as stupid as she is.

More so if that's possible

Trump fires Comey, who was investigating him, bad. Clinton firing Comey, who was investigating her, good. Got it.

The only thing the old, stuttering bat doesn’t understand is that Trump wasn’t and isn’t under investigation; a FORMER member(s) of his campaign staff was/is. Clinton was (and is?) the target of an ongoing investigation.

No need to bring race into this, that logic applies across gender, race and creed, assuming you have a D behind your name.
