I don’t know if Maxine Waters has any pastimes, but she definitely needs something to take her mind off Donald Trump. While she’s at it, “Auntie” Maxine, as the Left for some inexplicable reason has dubbed her, needs to seek employment more in line with her temperament and intellect. (Out of respect for the elderly — “Auntie” Maxine is 78 — I will leave it readers’ imaginations to find her a job more befitting her qualifications.)
Waters, who has made headlines over the last half year for her obsession with Trump, whose impeachment, imprisonment, and exile she has called for on multiple occasions, came out with a fresh tweet on Thursday. Presumably her comment was in reaction to Trump’s speech in Poland, which some have called “Reaganeque.”
But this time, Auntie M really stepped in it:
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Only a weak & impotent leader would spend more time attacking his predecessor & the free press than those in the world truly threatening US.

The response Waters received was as pointed as it was deserved. A sampling (h/t Twitchy):
Ok, but Obama has been gone for almost 7 months. Why are you still talking about him?

Oh, Maxine is obviously explaining why Obama spent YEARS blaming GW Bush for so much. She forgot 2 add divisive 2 weak & impotent tho.

Granted Waters is pretty low-hanging fruit, but it’s difficult to allow an effrontery like this to go unredressed. Is it possible she doesn’t recall or is unaware of the seemingly thousands of times Obama blamed George W. Bush for the “mess he inherited”? There was plenty of coverage of the “blame Bush” phenomenon by the liberal media.
