Maxine Waters Is Back and She's Not Here to Play

Well, it's a day that ends in y so that must mean Representative Maxine Waters of California is here to show up on your little television show and let the whole place out.

Rep. Waters was a guest on All In with Chris Hayes last night and, honey, they weren't ready. There's going all in and then there's the laser surgery that Rep. Waters performed. Maxine Waters showed up on Chris Hayes' show like Dr. Bailey from Grey's Anatomy. She was like, "I'm scrubbed up and about to crack D.C.'s chest, boo. Scalpel!"

For his part Chris Hayes, bless him, spent the better part of the six minute interview failing to get a word in edgewise and succeeding in looking 100% shewk.

I dont disagree with the message at all but his constant hyperbole makes it hard to read. 80 % of the article is just fluff instead of in depth information.

I'm proud to have her as my representative.

I don't get why more are not following her lead. She seems to be the most vocal of the members of both houses of congress.

Go Maxine!!! Keep up the good fight.

"succeeding in looking 100% shewk"

Is "shewk" a typo that I just can't figure out or some new slang buzzword that I'm out of the loop on or what?

Kudos to the irrepressible Maxine Waters in any case.

And most of Chris Hayes' "interviews" are spent with him blustering and stuttering, no matter who he's talking to.

She is RIGHTEOUS! I am SO glad (not to mention grateful - and relieved!) that she's on our side!

Give 'em HELL, Maxine!

...to poor widdle Chris looking befuddled.

I saw that interview last week, but didn't get all that meaty substance that this guy laid out in that piece.

You know what everyone? As horrible as this might be short term, long term trump being president may be just what this country needed to unite.
