Maxine Waters: There are L.A. gangsters with 'more integrity' than Trump

Maxine Waters: There are L.A. gangsters with ‘more integrity’ than Trump
‘This guy is a street player,’ Waters says of the president on ‘Desus & Mero’

Rep. Maxine Waters made her debut Thursday night on Showtime’s “Desus & Mero” late night show and (characteristically) didn’t hold back as she criticized President Donald Trump.

“This guy is a street player,” Waters said. “He’s a guy that has conned folks. He’s flirted with gangsters.”


Waters, who leads the House Financial Services Committee, was one of the first Democrats to call for Trump’s impeachment and has been a vocal Trump critic throughout his presidency.

“I have worked in some of the toughest communities,” said Waters, who represents Los Angeles. “I’ve worked with gangs, I’ve worked with Crips, I’ve worked with Bloods. And there's more integrity in many of these young people in the hood than this man has. This is a flawed character, and I’ve never seen anything like this.”


Waters said she’s “uncomfortable” with how the 2020 Democratic presidential primary is playing out and concerned about the party picking someone who can take on Trump. “This country cannot tolerate another four years of him,” she said. Waters plans to wait until after the South Carolina debate to make an endorsement.

hoodlums too, I hope that rump gets his feathers ruffled when he hears about her remarks about him that kids of in some of Waters 'neighborhoods (in gangs) have more integrity that rump has, and that rump has a flawed character.

Coming from her, a female, black, and from California, her remarks have a certain bite to them, delicious to the taste.

Rump's character is simple. One that doesn't know how to handle money. One that constantly lies, steals, and cheats their way through life. He commands NO respect from anyone because he's never earned it.
