Waters on President Trump and Alleged Collusion with Russia
Maxine Waters currently serves in the House of Representatives as a Democrat from California. In addition to her work in politics, Waters is also a longtime Trump critic. The Congresswoman has called for the President’s impeachment on multiple occasions. Moreover, Waters has even gone after members of Trump’s administration.
In addition to targeting United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, Waters once stated that Vice President Pence harbored plans to usurp President Trump. The Democratic Congresswoman furthermore likened Attorney General Jeff Sessions to the Jim Crow Era. She even once threatened to “take out” the President. Many Trump supporters have strongly censured Waters for the aforementioned statements.

A Follow-Up Regarding Waters’ Statements
Many of President Trump’s critics have echoed the foregoing talking points shared by Maxine Waters. The Commander-in-Chief and his supporters routinely dismiss the Russia investigation as a baseless “witch hunt.” Furthermore, most right-leaning Americans have noted that after a year of probing, no evidence has surfaced to link President Trump or his associates to collusion.
The President’s backers frequently criticize Waters and other Trump critics via social media. Supporters of the Commander-in-Chief have also coined the term “Trump Derangement Syndrome” to describe individuals who they believe attack the President at each and every turn.
President Trump has not publicly responded to Maxine Waters’ latest commentary.
