Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) has had quite enough of Republicans in Congress whining about the investigation of the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, and she absolutely obliterated one of them with comments she made during an appearance on MSNBC.
Speaking with host Jonathan Capehart, Waters was shown a clip of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) holding forth a fact-free press conference recently.
Once the video had been shown, Waters remarked:
“Well, you know, the world watched what happened and for them to try and rewrite history and to tell people, ‘don’t believe your lying eyes.'”
And then the California Democrat brought up the fact that Gaetz is under investigation for allegedly paying underage girls to have sex with him:
“He had better be concerned about what’s happening to him, he had better be concerned about, you know, the fact that he’s been investigated and then concerns about him and young girls and on and on and on. But absolutely, to get in our faces and talk about they had no intent of hurting anybody when we’ve got five of our Capitol police who are dead, 150 of them who have been harmed? We absolutely are going to have to resist, we’re going to have to fight and we can’t let them get away with it.”
Waters was far from finished, however, and she issued one final jab at Republicans:
“I want my party to rise to this occasion and not try and think that somehow we are going to be able to work something out with them. They have defined themselves as liars, people with no integrity and they are intent on protecting [Donald] Trump and they’re all afraid of him. They are not representing even their constituents so Gaetz needs to shut up.”
Game, set, and match Maxine Waters.
