Since Maxine Waters’ conspiracy theory that Donald Trump “colluded” with Russia has fallen flat, she’s now turning to simply attacking the president personally.
During a Wednesday appearance at the California African American Museum in Los Angeles, Waters Trump needed “to be checked out to see if he’s crazy.”
“We’re talking about a president who not only does not deserve to be the president of the United States, but he deserves, in my estimations, to be impeached,” Waters said.
“Are we going to sit here and wait for the next presidential election? I don’t think so. I don’t think so. He has done enough damage in the time he has been there.”
After an “Impeach 45” chant, Waters claimed, “He is abnormal. He needs to be checked out to see if he’s crazy. So let us resist, resist, resist.”
Some might conclude Waters is the crazy one after her recent string of gaffes.
In late June, Waters asserted 700,000,000,000 people will be harmed if Senate Republicans repeal and replace Obamacare.
Chris Hayes asked Waters about how the White House can claim that the bill can cut costs and increase coverage and Waters replied, “Well, that’s just not true.
“Take, for example, the state of Kentucky. Almost one-third of those people in that state are covered by Medicaid, and so they’re talking about eliminating 700 billion,” she said, looking off camera, seemingly seeking confirmation, “in, uh, Trumpcare bill.”
She concluded, “And so that’s no way that they can say that they’ll do more coverage than Obamacare, and so I don’t really know what they’re talking about.”
In February, Waters attempted to build the case for why Democrats “may” push for impeachment.
“How can a president who is acting the manner he is acting — whether he’s talking about the travel ban, the way he’s targeted Muslims, or whether he’s talking about his relationship to (Vladimir) Putin and the Kremlin and knowing that they have hacked our (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) and the (Democratic National Committee),” she said.
But then the already wobbly wheels began falling off Waters’ rhetoric wagon.
“And knowing that he’s responsible for supplying the bombs that killed innocent children and families in, um, in, um,” she said, forgetting the name before someone behind her murmured, “Aleppo.”
“Yeah, in Aleppo,” she said.
Waters continued, “And the fact that he is wrapping his arms around Putin while Putin is continuing to advance into Korea.”
Korea, Crimea, what’s the difference, besides spellings, cultures and continents?
Referring to Trump, she said, “I think he’s leading himself into that kind of position where folks will begin to ask, ‘What are we going to do?’ and the answer’s going to be, ‘Eventually, we’ve got to do something about him.'”
