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. Ive 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.
Ive 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.
ETC...

No matter what, the left ALWAYS plays that card, like people still believe it.

When did the NYT editorial board call on Pelosi to resign? I missed that. Because if they did, Maxine will have giving both Majority and Minority leaders of the House of Representatives reasons to be upset with her. Not even Shelia Jackson Lee or Alan Grayson were that crazy.

It appears Maxine Waters is a DOG who not only BITES intruders, but also HER MASTERS.
I predict she just ran out of road.
To: yesthatjallen
And you wonder why the Democrats are losing! they screw each other and don’t care about anyone but themselves. Waters is unhinged and a danger to others with her remarks and she proud about it.

Thank you for the link. I'm no fan of Pelosi, but that was a dumb move by the NYT.
