“10 Democrats Boycott Trump’s State of the Union Address–Another Trump critic, California Democrat Maxine Waters, said she would not attend, calling Trump a “dishonorable president.”
“VIVA FIDEL!…FIDEL!-FIDEL!-FIDEL!” chanted the enraptured crowd (which included Maxine Waters and Charles Rangel) who greeted the jailer and torturer of longest suffering black political prisoners in modern history. This racist torturer was being honored at Harlem’s Riverside Church on Sept. 9, 2000.

“I came to Harlem because I knew it was here that I would find my best friends!” beamed the Stalinist dictator who would have nuked Harlem but for the prudence of the Butcher of Budapest.

“READ MY BOOKS, Soledad!–THEN get back to me!”
Maxine’s only virtue (of sorts) is how much of a cartoonish stereotype she is, but at least she’s open and upfront about it. Frankly, I have more respect for her, relatively speaking, than someone like Mitt Romney.
