Waters scolds Trump at immigration rally: 'How dare you?'

US Rep. Maxine Waters kept up the heat on President Trump at an immigration rally Saturday in Los Angeles.

"How dare you?" said Waters, a California Democrat and frequent Trump critic. "How dare you take the babies from mothers' arms? How dare you take the children and send them all across the country into so-called detention centers?"

Waters has been warring with Trump lately amid a broader discussion of "civility" in politics, which gained some traction after White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was asked to leave a Virginia restaurant.

Waters then encouraged people to heckle and harass Cabinet members in public.

In response, Trump tweeted that Waters had called for "harm" to his supporters and spoke against her in rallies.
Waters denied calling for violence.

Her speech Saturday was part of the "Families Belong Together" rallies held across the country. Protesters gathered to show opposition to Trump's "zero tolerance" toward undocumented immigrants, which has separated thousands of children from their parents.

She continued, "You are putting them in cages. You are putting them in jails. And you think we're going to stand by and allow you to do that? I don't think so. Donald Trump, you think you can get away with everything, but you have gone too far when you are trying to break up families in the way that you do."

some white people think the words of black people don't matter, because history has taught many over 100's of year that what ever black people have to say, is not something white people should regard. that's a remnant from the long history of delusions of white supremacy.... which is nothing more than another form and way racism exist... is in the thinking that black people have nothing of value to say, as well as white people have a long history of thinking they are too above learning anything from black people.

They criticize Maxine because she speaks up, and does not play the game of life the way white people are use to it being played..

But if they ever get over the old ways of thinking from the system of racist indoctrination, then they will open their minds to the facts, that there is much to be learned from black people.... just as there is from any ethnicity of people.

Thank you Maxine, for being Direct and not worried about the Politically Correct crap of almost saying what one thinks, and being a person who will and who does say what she thinks...and say it in direct terms.

Keep on Talking because some will hear you and others may learn to hear you.... !!!!
