"One Democrat on that committee told The Hill that a few members of the panel are worried that Waters' recent remarks about confronting administration officials are a sign that she's itching to lead a crusade against Trump.
" 'We've got a division because some people are very concerned that she's going to be pushing an ideological agenda,' said the lawmaker. 'We can have disagreements on the substance, and that's fine. I just want to make sure it doesn't become like a show.'
"And Waters has acknowledged her enhance public role as a Trump critic and the dangers that come with it.
"Over the weekend she warned would-be assassins that if they intend to target her, they 'better shoot straight.'
" 'I know that there are those who are talking about censuring me, talking about kicking me out of Congress, talking about shooting me, talking about hanging me,' Waters during a rally on Saturday.
" 'All I have to say is this, if you shoot me you better shoot straight, there's nothing like a wounded animal.' "
. . . From the perspective of some House Democrats, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) has the right message. She’s just not always the best messenger.
"The Los Angeles lawmaker’s early calls for President Trump’s impeachment and viral showdowns with administration officials have endeared Waters to the party’s young, liberal base. And those stances have also garnered the respect of many House Democrats, who admire how Waters, 79, sticks to her political convictions.
. . .
"Yet her most recent remarks — encouraging public confrontation with Cabinet members — rankled some of those colleagues and raised concerns about how Waters would handle increased authority if Democrats regain control of the House in November." . . .
