California Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters was in full snark mode yesterday during a Democratic hearing on the Trump administration’s immigration raids, and her comments have gone viral online.
“This is an important press conference that is being held to let you know what we’re all doing resisting this lowdown, dirty, no good, filthy president of the United States of America,” Waters said at the gathering, which drew gasps from some in the audience.
But Ms. Waters was far from ripping Trump and the administration a new one.
“Let me just say this,” the congresswoman continued. “They are targeting our leadership both in the Latino community and in the Black community, and while they’re targeting them and following them, I’m on the street, and I’m following ICE, and I’m targeting ICE.”
“She added, “”We are documenting everything. We are resisting. And I want to tell you, you are seeing the biggest coming together of the Black and brown community that we’ve seen in this city ever.”
Protests against the administration’s draconian immigration policies have to continue, Waters concluded.
“You must not stop. I’m protesting. I’ve been to 11 of them. I stay on the street, in the alleys, wherever I need to be. We’re not afraid, but we’re smart.”

Trump hasn’t responded to Waters yet. Maybe we should all post this article to his Twitter feed and see if we can get a reaction from the Infant-in-Chief.
Ready, set, go!
