In Case You Missed It: When Maxine Waters encouraged violence against Trump administration cabinet members this month it wasn’t the first time the California congresswoman, serving her 14th term, displayed behavior unbecoming of a federal lawmaker. The vivacious Democrat from Los Angeles has been embroiled in numerous controversies throughout her storied political career, including abusing her power to enrich family members, getting a communist dictator to harbor a cop-murdering Black Panther fugitive still wanted by the FBI and accusing the CIA of selling crack cocaine in black neighborhoods.
Among her most corrupt acts as a federal legislator is steering millions of federal bailout dollars to her husband’s failing bank, OneUnited. Waters allocated $12 million to the Massachusetts bank in which she and her board member husband held shares. OneUnited subsequently got shut down by the government and American taxpayers got stiffed for the millions. Judicial Watch investigated the scandal and obtained documents from the U.S. Treasury related to the controversial bailout. The famously remiss House Ethics Committee, which is charged with investigating and punishing corrupt lawmakers like Waters, found that she committed no wrongdoing.
Now the veteran lawmaker is outrageously inciting violence against Trump cabinet members. “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 are not welcome anymore, anywhere,” Waters said at a rally in Los Angeles on Saturday. This week Judicial Watch filed a House ethics complaint against Waters for encouraging violence against Trump Cabinet members.
