It doesn't offend me I just think it shows a lot about the type of person she is .
I fully support the right of freedom of speech for liberals like Maxine Waters and others .
It's great we have them on record acting like this !
Trump and his cabinet will just continue fixing the serious issues affecting this country . Illegal immigration, trade , a return to law and order.

Libs can continue crying and shouting racism blah blah .
Maybe they can come up with some ideas to you know ... help the American people .
They are more focused these days on helping illegal aliens that aren't citizens and aren't Americans.

If repeating that line from so many years ago is all the left has that's pretty pathetic.
It's all the left has, they are grabbing at straws, and coming up empty.


Trump did not go on a TV news interview, and make his comments live, like the lib'tard Waters did.

In just a month, Trump has offended Mexico, Australia, Muslims, the constitution......and Canada, Europe, and far east Asia are rolling their eyes at us.

I'm more concerned about that than whatever Waters said. But because Trump's first month has been an absolute nightmare, his supporters focus on non-issues like what Maxine Waters said to ignore the bigger issues...like his claims of MILLIONS of illegal votes that he has no proof of, Flynn being forced to resign after lying about what he did, and his biggest executive order yet, Muslim ban, being shot down by the courts.

But yea, let's talk about what Maxine Waters said...because that's so important compared to everything else I just listed.

Is this an appropriate type of language a U.S. Representative should be using?

Imagine if a republican had said the same thing about Obama's people. It would be headline news for days. There'd be alls for his/her resignation. His/her political career would forever ruined BUT since it was Maxine Waters saying it against Trump, everything is fine.

And where is the mainstream media outrage?

Funny how the left and their media friends are criticizing Trump for his language but stuff like this from them is fine.
Truth hurts.

Anyone insulted by what she said must've felt the shoe fit.

If someone said "half the people who support Clinton are (something unpleasant)" I would ask myself "am I that?"

If the answer was "nope," I'd just assume that they were not referring to me.

Yet, so many people who I am certain are not "deplorable" got offended. Did I give them too much credit?

Maybe they ARE deplorable?

I was truly baffled by that. If she'd said "all Trump supporters are deplorable," I could understand the outrage.

Eh. I tend not to assume that everything someone says refers to me.

Trump has insulted people who didn't vote for him. We're "enemies." We're "haters." We're "liars." The news we watch is "fake."

Come on. He's the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

And, this is how he refers to everyone who isn't lockstep with him.

Maxine Waters doesn't have that kind of power. She's referring to fellow members of government, not the US people.

I think this is blown way out of proportion.

It's not the most important thing .
Are you upset because it's being brought up and makes Maxine look bad ?

Why do you think those countries are "offended "?

It's because they know there is a new sheriff in town and their gig is up .
It's just like the illegal aliens and their supporters acting offended .
They know a change is coming and it won't be like the Obama and Bush years .

Trump is simply making progress on the agenda he campaigned on to fix many large fundamental issues in America.
Issues that were too politically dangerous to touch . Unlike Obama he cares less about political correctness and cares about doing what's right.

You tell me which is worse. And yes, I'm aware that Trump made his comment in what he thought was total privacy....which IMO makes it even worse.
Locker room talk. 99% of all men and 75% of all women know this. Step out of the echo chamber every once in a while.....it's nice out here.

Back to Maxine. She's great. She and Pelosi and crybaby Schumer should be trotted out in front of the cameras as much as possible.

Pot meet kettle. Waters is a low life and always has been. She is a bigot and one also needs to question her sanity.

Right .

So if someone said half of black people are deplorable or half of gays are deplorable or half of women are *******. Half of men are pigs .
All blacks , gays and women and men wouldn't get disgusted by that comment?
