Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said Sunday she was surprised to see Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) criticize her for advocating to publicly confront Trump Cabinet officials, but noted that political leaders "will do anything that they think is necessary to protect their leadership.”
“You know, I was surprised at Chuck Schumer, you know reached into the other house to do that,” Waters said when asked by MSNBC host Joy Reid if she was surprised to see leaders in her own party criticizing her. “I’ve not quite seen that done before. But one of the things I recognize, being an elected official, is in the final analysis, you know, leadership will do anything that they think is necessary to protect their leadership.”
Waters' statement on Sunday comes about a week after she called for protestors to confront members of President Trump's administration over his "zero tolerance" immigration policy.
Trump responded by falsely claiming Waters called for harming his supporters. Many lawmakers, including Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), condemned her remarks as well.
But Waters said she's choosing not to focus on other lawmakers' comments.
“I’ve got to keep the focus on the children and the fact that this administration is endangering children in the worst kind of way,” she said.

Trump rightly claimed Waters was threatening harm to Trump supporters
Hold on...I’m making some more popcorn!
Run, Little Chillun!
That Mad Maxine is just out-of-control, ignoring everybody.
“You know, I was surprised at Chuck Schumer, you know reached into the other house to do that,” Waters said when asked by MSNBC host Joy Reid if she was surprised to see leaders in her own party criticizing her. “I’ve not quite seen that done before. But one of the things I recognize, being an elected official, is in the final analysis, you know, leadership will do anything that they think is necessary to protect their leadership.”
The NYT editorial board should have thought of that before they called on Pelosi to resign.
If your going to shoot, shoot to kill. Now they have made themselves the target of Pelosi’s wrath.
It will be interesting in the coming months to see how the board members are slowly replaced.
MadMaxiePad should just “ignore” all the entrenched RATS since they’re all just “racist” anyway, and continue on as the face & voice of the RAT side of the UniParty. She’s the gift that just keeps on giving. She should run for POTUS. Yeah, that’s it. RUN, MadMaxie!!! RUN!!!!
Chuckles called her un-American as well. She hides that particular mark under the wig.
A rift. I hope it gets wider.
Is there a "best kind of way" to endanger children?
He sounds like a racist and a sexist...Fight Maxine Fight!!! ;)
It’s always about the children with these democrats except when its about the children being born.
I doesn’t get much better. A real popcorn moment.
I’m rooting for Maxine and Pelosi. A perfect pair.
So far:
Maxine calls for physical harm against Trump supporters
Trump calls Maxine Low IQ again
Pelosi will not support
Pelosi goes to Pet Smart and buys a muzzle, puts on Maxine
Maxine backs out of speech last minute as she was told to
Uses the tired def thret excuse. No way to verify and makes the other side look bad
(in reality, if true it would be coming from the Dem side.
We here on the right love us some Maxine)
Maxine claims Pelosi will do anything to keep her power
NYT editorial board (lie tank) calls for Pelosi to quit
What a glorious show this week
Maxine is pi$$ed at Trump for questioning her sanity. She said “He wants me to take an IQ Test. I don’t think an old black woman should have to pee in a cup to prove she’s sane!”
I suspect Democrat criticisms of Waters are pro forma, just for appearances. The regulars don’t think they can come back without violence.
Kerosene Maxine's not very bright, but she's right about this.
Her IQ. It’s low.
That sounds kind of sick.
The Dems are falling apart at thee seems
Right on Marxine, don’t let that rayciss cracka tell you what to do.
