Dear God, I love blue-on-blue violence

Rep.Maxine Waters, D-Cal., is in a stiff competition with Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Tex., for the title of the dumbest member of Congress. Of course, it took the retirement of former Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Cal., for years regarded as one of the stupidest members of Congress, for those two to even enter the conversation. And, to be fair, that list was compiled by Mother Jones magazine, which as a liberal publication felt compelled to put four Republicans in front of Boxer. Even lib publications like this one and Politico, hardly a right-wing blog, put Boxer right up there as the dumbest member of Congress. Alas, she retired. Is Maxine ready to take on the title? I think maybe:

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said Sunday she was surprised to see Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) criticize her for advocating to publicly confront Trump Cabinet officials, but noted that political leaders "will do anything that they think is necessary to protect their leadership.”
“You know, I was surprised at Chuck Schumer, you know reached into the other house to do that,” Waters said when asked by MSNBC host Joy Reid if she was surprised to see leaders in her own party criticizing her. “I’ve not quite seen that done before. But one of the things I recognize, being an elected official, is in the final analysis, you know, leadership will do anything that they think is necessary to protect their leadership.”
Waters' statement on Sunday comes about a week after she called for protestors to confront members of President Trump's administration over his "zero tolerance" immigration policy.

Not only is Maxine dumb enough to publicly call for people to openly harass anyone who supports the president, she is dumb enough to turn on her party leaders when they suggest she might be a moron for advocating that course of action. Hope they keep it up.
