If Waters is the best the Democrats have now, they are in serious trouble. Are they incapable of finding an ethical leader who doesn’t sound unhinged? The average Democrat doesn’t want someone that nutty representing them. Waters may represent the viewpoints of Antifa and the radical left, but she is scaring away the normal people left in the party. Which is a good thing for Republicans.  |

Rachel Alexander "A big part of the reason Democrats are fleeing their party in the #WalkAway movement is because of leadership like Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.). The 80-year-old lawmaker has been in office since 1991, representing large parts of south-central Los Angeles and surrounding areas. She is best known for corruption and hyperbole. In recent years, she has escalated her public appearances representing Democrats. In June, President Trump declared, “The face of the Democrats is now Maxine Waters.”
Her notorious public life started back in 1992, when she called President H.W. Bush a racist. In 2004, an article in The Los Angeles Times revealed that Waters used her position to help companies, candidates and causes. They then turned around and did business with her family members, earning the family more than $1 million. If she had been a Republican member of Congress, she would have been prosecuted.
"The left-leaning Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington listed Waters as one of the most corrupt members of Congress in 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2011. The House Ethics Committee accused her of at least one ethical violation in 2010 for helping a bank receive federal aid. Her husband was a stockholder and former director of the bank, and the bank’s executives were major contributors to her campaigns. The bank received $12 million in TARP funds." . . .
