“This guy is a street player,” Maxine Waters said on an episode of Showtime’s “Desus & Mero.” “He’s a guy that has conned folks. He’s flirted with gangsters.”
“I have worked in some of the toughest communities. I’ve worked with gangs, I’ve worked with Crips, I’ve worked with Bloods. And there’s more integrity in many of these young people in the hood than this man has,” Maxine Waters continued.

“This is a flawed character, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” she added.
“I think now it boils down to all of us wanting someone that we feel comfortable can really beat Trump. This country cannot tolerate another four years of him,” she said. “I have not endorsed anybody, and I’m going to wait until after South Carolina.”
Illustrious career? What has she done aside from enrich herself and all her relatives to the tune of many millions of dollars?

@RepMaxineWaters has sat in Washington DC for decades and has done nothing for her constituents. She has managed to enrich her family with out accountability. She is another reason for term limits.

Meanwhile, her district becomes poorer, the people her district become sicker, more drug addicts, more homeless, more unemployed and unemployable.
