Congresswoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., offered a thorough response to all the attention shes received in her very public battle against President Trump at BETs Black Girls Rock! celebration on Saturday night.
Waters is known for her candid and direct remarks, recently saying that she is working to impeach the president and proudly proclaiming that shes a strong Black woman in a broadcast interview, and she brought the same fiery soundbites to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center as she received her social humanitarian honor.
After taking a moment to share her admiration for her peers, the Waters said that if not for the "love and respect" shown to her by other black women, her Republican counterparts would "have me believe Im too black, Im too confrontational, that Im too disrespectful of them."
She also doubled down on her calls for impeachment.
Not only will we resist you, we will impeach you, Donald Trump she said to an enthusiastic crowd.
