Maxine Waters on Trump's Cabinet: They're a 'Bunch of Scumbags' | Fox News Insider


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.

I encourage Democrats to put Maxine Waters on TV as much as possible.

Oh, you mean like Republican representative Joe Wilson of SC's 2nd Congressional District who shouted "You lie" to Obama?

Yes, it is odd how the left ignores the transgressions of their own. That woman is really classy (not). I agree with WaldoKitty that she should be on TV as much as possible. I wonder if the rest of Dems and the reporters cringe at this when we can't see them?

That hardly comes close to calling the Pres and the cabinet "scumbags".

Wilson violated rules of decorum, that's all. The British Parliament does that all the time. Perhaps we are too stuffy.

Besides, Obama did tell some falsehoods. Fact.

Maxine Waters is a ghetto rat that's dumber than a bag full of hair. She should be more worried about the scumbags she represents.

You've either got mistaken identity or likes lying. I never likened Obama to Pol Pot. Show me where I did that.

Yes, you are biased. Extremely. You are always anti-Trump, pro-left. One only needs to read your posts to confirm this.

Yes, you are biased.
But you hate Obama and think he was a bad president, right?

You made an accusation about Pol Pot. Are you saying that you made it up?
