Pelosi slams Trump's 'despicable attacks' on Waters at rally


Pelosi slams Trump's 'despicable attacks' on Waters at rally
By Emily Birnbaum - 07/05/18 08:33 PM EDT


House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed President Trump over his comments about Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) during a rally on Thursday night.

Trump at the campaign-style rally in Montana called Waters a “low-IQ individual,” a claim that he has repeated many times. He speculated her IQ is “somewhere in the mid-60s.”

The average IQ is 85-114, and a mid-60s IQ indicates mental challenges.

“.@realDonaldTrump, instead of making despicable attacks on @RepMaxineWaters, why don’t you focus on reuniting the children you put into cages back with their families?” Pelosi tweeted Thursday night. “It’s been 9 days since a federal judge ordered you to. #FamiliesBelongTogether.”


Trump also took shots at Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) at his rally Thursday night, while calling Waters – a vocal Trump critic who has called for his impeachment – “the new leader of the Democrat Party.”

Thank god I am a Democrat.
I will never have to admit I played a role in handing America over to fascism.
