Rep Maxine Waters Calls Trump "One Of The Most Dishonorable, Despicable" People To Hold Public Office
/United States Congresswoman Maxine Waters of California delivered a fiery speech at the Human Rights Campaign's annual Los Angeles Dinner Saturday night. Never at a loss for words, Rep. Waters ripped into Donald Trump, calling him “one of the most dishonorable, deceitful, and despicable people ever to hold public office.”
Waters ticked off a list of Trump transgressions against the LGBTQ community: a ban on transgender service members in the military, proposed budget cuts to programs supporting people living with HIV, and a rather terrifying proposition that Title VII does not include the LGBTQ community. “Well, what do I think about all of this?” she said to roaring applause as she removed her glasses and made a face that left no doubt how she felt about Trump's policies.
With Rep. Waters holding court on the West Coast, President Donald Trump was busy mocking her at his "am I just great or what speech" speech in Pennsylvania Saturday night.
Once again, Trump mocked Waters, saying she had a "very low IQ". Waters has become the source of Trump's incessant ridicule. In early March, Trump proposed at the annual Gridiron Club dinner that the Congresswoman take an IQ test.
"Did you ever see her? Did you ever see her? 'We will impeach him. We will impeach the president,'" Trump said before telling the crowd he hadn't done anything wrong. His assertion that Waters believes he should be impeached is accurate.
"Everybody knows that I'm on the front lines not talking about harming anybody but I am talking about impeachment," Waters told CNN in an October 2017 interview. "I don't think this President should be representing our country ... he creates controversy, he cannot get along with our members of Congress, and I'm going to continue my efforts to impeach him."
"'It doesn't matter, we will impeach him.' She's a low IQ individual," Trump said. "You can't help it."
