Bigger Than Trump: One-on-One Exclusive With Rep. Maxine Waters (D)
Here's an article about our beloved Democratic representative from California... "Aunt Maxine" that I wanted to share with you. Her nickname is endearing, but she's a POWERHOUSE DEMOCRAT who doesn't hold back and takes-no-prisoners. She takes it right to the enemy... Trump and the GOP. She's a smart cookie who doesn't waste time with divisive squabbles with her own party. I just love her to pieces and she makes me SO PROUD to be a DEMOCRAT.
Ego? NOPE! She checked her ego at the door, because she knows that the dangers we face are so much greater than one person's personal ambitions. She's on the move and ready to roll! Stand back... and don't get in her way!!

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), 78, is small of stature but commands attention whenever she strides into a room. Her gaze is direct and inquisitive, with flashes of steely resolve serving as a clear reminder not to take her kindness for weakness.

Waters is experiencing a season of political pop-culture relevance, and it is easy to tell that the veteran educator, community organizer and politician is loving every moment of it. Her appreciation for her newfound national status is contagious. In an MSNBC interview with Waters, Joy-Ann Reid talked about Waters’ “one-woman resistance to the normalization of Donald Trump,” and it is a role that the congresswoman from California’s 43rd District takes extremely seriously.
“People in the coal-mine country who believed Trump, I want them to listen to who he is and what he’s doing and how he lies every single day,” Waters said to me as we sat across from each other Saturday afternoon in a conference room at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta.
“They need to evaluate who they’re going to vote for in the next presidential election based on everything they’ve learned about what they shouldn’t do,” Waters said between sips of hot tea.
