Maxine Waters questions patriotism of Trump supporters from House floor

Note to Donald Trump supporters: Maxine Waters is a bigger patriot than you are.

At least that’s what she thinks.

During a screed on the House floor Monday night, Waters played the race card and the patriotism card against supporters of the president.

“Mr. Speaker, my position against this president and his administration is clear. I oppose this president. I do not honor this president. I do not respect this president,” Waters said during a nearly 9-minute speech.

“African-Americans have struggled and fought historically, many African-Americans have paid a huge price fighting for justice and equality in this country, have died for it. I don’t have to call the names of Martin Luther King and all the others. We have paid a price, we have fought.

“But guess what? Despite the fact that America has not always been there for us, we’ve always been there for America. We have fought in America’s wars. We have suffered discrimination, we have suffered isolation and undermining. But we stand up for America, oftentimes when others who think they are more patriotic, who say they are more patriotic, do not,” Waters said.

John McCain and Maxine Waters are poster children for the need of term limits.

Mouthy Max needs to SHUT UP. I opposed obama. I did not honor him, or respect him personally, but I did respect the office of the president of the United States of America. She should do the same for President Trump.

Isn't it hard to believe she is surrounded with like minded peoples in office. What a nasty, vile, dummy. Along with lawmakers warning fugitives and thieves to be careful not to get caught.
