WHAT DOES NANCY PELOSI, DIANNE FEINSTEIN, FORMER SEN. BARBARA BOXER, MAXINE WATERS AND KAMALA HARRIS HAVE IN COMMON? THEY HAVE USED ELECTIVE OFFICE TO GET FILTHY RICH FREQUENTLY SIPHONING OFF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION BRIBES TO MEMEMBERS OF THEIR FAMIILY AS CONSULTANT FEES.
THESE ARE FIVE OF THE MOST CORRUPT AND SELF-SERVING POLITICIANS IN AMERICAN HISTORY. THOSE WHO LIVE IN MEXIFORNIA BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR SERVICE TO THE RICH.
In the 1980s Waters accused the CIA of selling crack cocaine to blacks in her south-central Los Angeles district to raise millions of dollars to support clandestine operations in Latin America, including a guerrilla army. During the infamous 1992 Los Angeles riots the congresswoman repeatedly excused the violent behavior that ironically destroyed the areas she represents in the House. She dismissed the severe beating of a white truck driver by saying the anger in her district was righteous. She also excused looters who stole from stores by saying they were simply mothers capitalizing on an opportunity to take some milk, bread, and shoes.
Should this ethically and morally challenged individual, who has repeatedly displayed behavior unbecoming of a federal lawmaker, be at the helm of an influential congressional committee that oversees the financial sector?

Nancy Pelosi rallies to Maxine Waters's cause
By some metrics, Maxine Waters is a true American success story — the fifth of 13 children to a single mother, she slowly worked her way up the ladder to become one of the most powerful politicians in America. By other metrics, she's an American success story in the same way Al Capone was a success story: She attained and has retained power through thuggish bullying. Capone was finally brought to justice for his sins, and Waters's latest incitement to violence may finally be catching up with her.
Waters has been in the House since 1991, representing a very poor area in Los Angeles, even as she lives in a $6-million mansion in a mostly white neighborhood. She has distinguished herself by being rude and obstreperous within Congress and by inciting violence outside it.
In 1992, when the Rodney King riots erupted, eventually killing 63 people and leading to the infamous attack on Reginald Denny, Waters didn't try to calm the rioters. Instead, she led a "no justice, no peace" really in the middle of the riot. Waters defended the violence, saying, "If you call it a riot, it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable." During the trial of Damian Williams, who was caught on camera slamming a concrete slab into Reginald Denny's head and dancing around his body, Waters embraced Williams's cause.
By 1994, the House's presiding officer, Rep. Carrie Meek, called Waters "unruly and turbulent" and threatened her with the House equivalent of a cease-and-desist order for repeatedly interrupting Rep. Peter King's speech. Ironically, just recently, Waters told Rep. Jim Jordan to "shut your mouth" and stop questioning Fauci.
In 2000, 2004, and 2016, Waters objected to the results of the presidential elections. Nevertheless, she was one of those leading the charge again Republicans who challenged the results of the 2020 election.
In 2018, at a rally about "kids in cages" (which Democrats ignore now), Waters told people to intimidate people in the Trump administration:
Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere.
Waters has since escalated her violent demagoguery. This weekend, after having first asked for police protection, Waters crossed state lines to head into Minneapolis. Once there, Waters riled up the crowd gearing up to destroy Minneapolis following a verdict in the Derek Chauvin case.
Even though Chauvin is not charged with first-degree murder, and the prosecution struggled to meet the elements of lesser charges, Waters loudly insisted that Chauvin was guilty of first-degree murder — and urged violence if the jury didn't find him guilty of a crime for which he's not being charged:
I know this, we've got to stay in the streets. We are looking for a guilty verdict. If nothing does not happen then we have to not only stay in the streets but we have to fight for justice. I am very hopeful and I hope that we are going to get a verdict that is guilty, guilty, guilty and if we don't, we cannot go away.
Shortly after Waters said that, a drive-by shooter attacked a Minnesota National Guard and a Minneapolis police team.
Waters's demand was so heinous that Chauvin's attorney argued that it would influence the jury, destroying Chauvin's right to a fair trial. Judge Peter Cahill denied that the jury would be influenced, but nevertheless, he lit into Waters for talking about the case, "especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law":
Judge Cahill added that Waters's conduct not only was "abhorrent," but could result in the case being overturned on appeal if Chauvin is convicted.
Despite all this, Nancy Pelosi not only refuses to take action against Waters, but also says Waters does not owe Congress or the American public an apology. Instead, said Pelosi, Waters was just another civil rights activist:
Pelosi to @AnnieGrayerCNN on whether @RepMaxineWaters needs to apologize: “No she doesn’t. .. Maxine talks about confrontation in the manner of the civil rights movement.”

Asked whether Waters’ comments incite violence, Pelosi said: “No absolutely not"
In other words, as long as Waters's violent rabble-rousing works to the Democrats' benefit, she'll get away with using her bully pulpit in a constitutional office to undermine the Constitution and the rule of law.
The final word goes to Tucker Carlson, who ably sums up both Waters's demagoguery and the Democrats' willingness to embrace it:

Pelosi: Maxine Waters Shouldn’t Apologize for Comments to MN Protesters
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Monday said Rep. Maxine Waters should not apologize for calling on protesters to “get more confrontational” if former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is cleared in George Floyd’s death.
“No she doesn’t,” Pelosi told CNN reporter Annie Grayer when asked if Waters should apologize. Asked if Waters’ remarks will incite violence, the speaker replied, “Absolutely not.”

Maxine Waters: New dumpster for old racist lynch-mob trash
Conservative blogger Terrence K. Williams has some excellent commentary on "Crazy Maxine" Waters, who demanded a guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin case. "I hope we're going to get a verdict that will say guilty, guilty, guilty. And if we don't, we cannot go away." After all, who needs due process of law, including consideration of evidence and deliberation by a jury, when the Ku Klux Klan knew fully well in 1921 that the Black defendant was guilty of raping a white woman, and when Maxine Waters knows similarly in 2021 that Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd?
It is meanwhile noteworthy that Keith Ellison, the Minnesota prosecutor who orchestrated the murder charge against Chauvin, also compared 9/11 to the Reichstag Fire. Even the Daily Kos had a problem with that. If I was on the jury, his case would start out with one strike against it because I would not believe anything that came out of his mouth, even though he delegated the case to other attorneys. There is strong evidence that he overcharged Chauvin, noting that murder would require Chauvin to have set out intentionally to cause Floyd's death. There seems to be no evidence whatsoever that he did. There is a much stronger argument that the police owed Floyd a duty of care once he was in custody and no longer able to resist arrest and, if that duty of care was not performed, manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide could be on the table. Conflicting evidence has been presented, but it is up to the jury and not Waters to decide which story to believe.
Another argument could meanwhile be made that, if any of the jurors heard Waters's remarks, a mistrial might be in order due to the implicit threat of civil unrest if the jury returns the "wrong" verdict, just as it would be if the Ku Klux Klan marched around the courthouse if a Black defendant was on trial. Someone — Antifa and extreme elements of BLM are the obvious suspects — left a severed pig's head at the home of a Chauvin defense witness. The witness had already testified, so it is difficult to accuse the perpetrators of witness intimidation, but the message to the not yet sequestered jury is obvious.
It is also to be remembered that Waters encouraged people to harass members of the Trump administration. "Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."
Maxine, please go away — and take the country's racists of all persuasions with you.
