In an appearance on MSNBC on Tuesday, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) took aim at President-elect Donald Trump again and added that it was never her intention to attend Friday’s inaugural ceremonies.
When asked by host Tamron Hall about her decision, Waters said it predated the intelligence briefing from FBI director James Comey about possible Russian hacking and Trump’s criticism of Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) after Lewis called Trump an “illegitimate president.”
“Well let me just tell you, after I discovered who Trump is in the way he conducted himself, I was never going to go to the inauguration,” Waters said. “I never planned. I never contemplated even going near any of those activities or those events. I don’t like the way he has, you know, misled people, the way he has lied. I don’t like the way he’s disparaged folks. I don’t like the way he mocked and mimicked a disabled man. I don’t like the way he talked about women and grabbing their private parts. And so there is nothing about him that I would want to be involved with. And certainly the inauguration is a way of welcoming someone into the presidency, honoring them and respecting them.”
“I don’t honor him, I don’t respect him,” she added. “And I don’t want to be involved with him.”

You don't have to like or respect anyone, but you DO have to DO the JOB you were sent there to DO by THE PEOPLE.
Quit your job! What would a loser like you know for money if you didn't have a govt job!?
Who really cares what that pig says. Go back to CA. Talk about hypocrisy.
I Don't Honor Him, I Don't Respect Him'
Well I'll be, she musta seen whatcha wrote about Sheriff Lewis morning.
Another California POS. Let's give California to Mexico seeing there are so many Mexicans there already.
Maxine, you are lost.
Another pos doesn't pay taxes
Sadly Waters, the feeling is mutual about you.
Fair enough - felt same way Obama.
People who live in glass houses should throw stones!! Who the f#!$ she thinks she is ...a saint. Oh wait shs a ignorant pompous marxist.
She is a liar and a hack racist pimp.
She is going to be serving him for the next few years.....better find a way to like him!!!!!
Dear President Trump, please sent lots of money to my district. Maxine Waters.
Dear M. Waters, good luck with that. President Trump
All these congressmen and women as well as any senator who can not work with the duly elected president need to resign and just go away. If you can't work with the president then you can't do your job!
She entitled to dislike Trump just like many disliked Obama and passive aggressively did it and shut down the government to show it. I like Trump but he set the tone. He voices his opinions and feelings w/ no apologies. So now others a comfortable doing so despite Obama telling them to do otherwise. They are following their new president already. Deal w/ it. People need to stop focusing on who mad and prepare to get some real shh done
Maxine, we don't care! What you think would fit in a thimble. You lack even basic thinking ability & reasoning and, I might add, are one of the DUMBEST ever to be elected to pubic office!
“I don’t honor him, I don’t respect him,” she added. “And I don’t want to be involved with him.”
Better seek other employment!
