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.


Maxine Waters. The Clown of the political world

When its uttered by a sitting congresswoman referencing the current administration's whole cabinet. And no, you are not pretty sure about anything of the sort.

This should bother you if for no other reason than most Americans recoil from this kind of rhetoric and its coming from a Democrat.

Can anyone please link to where Trump or his cabinet called Maxine something worse than scumbag?

I hear a lot of statement of "they must of called her worse "

Looks like fake news brainwashing has done its job .

All blacks , gays and women and men wouldn't get disgusted by that comment?
I cannot speak for them, but I would not be personally insulted, no.

I might question the claim. I might think it rude.

But, take it personally? Nope.

I don't watch the news.

I'm not brainwashed.

I think Trump is a dipwad and his cabinet is swampier than the previous swamp he promised to drain.

So, yeah... I think Maxine was kinder than I would've been.

I'm not a Democrat.

I'm not a Republican.

I agree with Ms. Waters.

They are scumbags.
