‘Trump’: Maxine Waters Cracks Up Committee Hearing When Answering Republican’s Question About What Putin, Xi, and Kim Have in Common
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) injected some unexpected humor into a House Rules Committee hearing when a Republican challenged her to condemn communist leaders.
The committee debated a Republican-introduced resolution on “denouncing the horrors of socialism” on Tuesday.
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) questioned Waters, who said the resolution is “wasting our time” because “the biggest threat to our democracy” was the Capitol insurrection in 2021 when a mob of Trump supporters tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
“I think the fact that this isn’t passing on suspension just says everything about my friends across the aisle, that you can’t condemn socialism?” Reschenthaler said. “I mean, in your opening remarks, you were talking about Putin, Kim Jong-un, and Xi. You know what they all have in common, right?”
“Trump,” Waters responded.
