Maxine Waters: Rex Tillerson and others in Trump admin are “scumbags”

Maxine Waters is frustrated.

She desperately wants to impeach Donald Trump for something, as we highlighted in an earlier post, Maxine Waters: We need investigation to find evidence to impeach Trump:

On Joy Reid’s MSNBC show this morning, Dem Rep. Maxine Waters doubled down on her earlier statement that “my greatest desire is to lead [President Trump] right into impeachment.”

Asked by Reid on what grounds she would impeach the president, Waters offered no evidence but said “I believe” there’s a connection between Ukraine, Trump, and Russia, and “I think” Trump “colluded” with Putin during the election.

Concluded Waters: “I think that it’s there, we just have to dig deeper, do the investigation and find it.”

Trump has been in office a month already, no impeachment.

That’s frustrating. So Waters is lashing out at anyone she can find in the Trump administration, and she found Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and others with any type of tie to Russia (Tillerson as head of Exxon Mobile interacted with the Russians in that capacity).

The Blaze reports:

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Ca.) angrily denounced members of the Trump administration as being ‘scumbags’ in an interview with Chris Hayes on MSNBC Tuesday.

“I just think the American people have better understand what’s going on,” she yelled, “this is a bunch of scumbags. That’s what they are. Who are all organized around making money.”

“Those are very strong words, congresswoman,” Hayes asked. “Who do you mean by that when you call them scumbags, who are you talking about.”

All of these people who are organized with these oil and gas interests that’s in the administration and friends of the president of the United States, this back-channelling that you see. These are all a bunch of scumbags, that’s what they are.

“Secretary of state,” Hayes asked for clarification, “you mean the secretary of state of the United States?”

Well I tell you this, Tillerson is there to get these sanctions lifted. I believe it, just watch him. He’s gonna continue to work on it. This is important for him. He was there because he negotiated the deal with Exxon, with Putin.

Here’s the key segment:

Here’s a more full clip:

Waters should be taken *seriously* when it comes to Russian intrigue. She was, after all, the first and only person in the world to expose Russia’s invasion of Korea:

“And the fact that he is wrapping his arms around Putin while Putin is continuing to advance into Korea.”

Where now? Korea? Um, I think China would’ve had something to say about that if she means North Korea, and South Korea — along with the United States — would have had a LOT to say if she meant the other one.

But Waters apparently meant Crimea. She wasn’t even close. That’s 4,500 miles away in far eastern Europe, not in Asia.
