Maxine Waters's Aides Expelled From Speaker Pelosi's Event

Three staffers working for embattled Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) were asked by security officers to leave an event in downtown Washington on Thursday after they tried to display large campaign signs just as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was about to speak.

The aides were holding lawn signs that defended Waters from the ethics charges she is facing in the House.

“Let’s fight for Maxine Waters,” read a headline on the signs above a large picture of the congresswoman.

Waters said she was deploying campaign signs at events throughout the country to defend herself against charges that she improperly intervened to help a failing bank secure a meeting with Treasury officials even though her husband had owned stock in the company and previously served on its board. “These signs will show up wherever large numbers of African Americans gather,” Waters said.

“These signs will show up wherever large numbers of African Americans gather,” Waters said.

I could name a few of those places but won't.

She is one of the biggest idiots on the hill.

Why would she not want to defend herself with non-African Americans?

What about we "regular Americans"?

lol, seems to me she just made it clear that she is trying to play us (black people) for dummies who will vote for her because of her color. What a joke.

Conservatives take note. More black people would vote for you if you would stop with the blanket charecterization of minorities as welfare queens in cadillacs and drug dealers. Your principles actually speak directly to the spirit of our people who hustle to get ahead of the game every day.

1:30 I hope you realize these blanket statements usually come from the main stream media and not conservatives as they would have you believe. It's in their best interest to keep you and I divided.

2:37, I beg to differ. You must not be a regular visitor to this blog. Not to mention you are probably not a Limbaugh/Hannity listener.
