Trump calls Maxine Waters ‘the face of the Democrats’ along with Nancy Pelosi

President Trump has found a new Democratic bogey-man for mid-term elections: Maxine Waters, a California representative who over the weekend encouraged her supporters to harass members of his administration.

Trump said Monday evening at a rally that the Democratic Party has become part and parcel with the impeachment-pushing lawmaker from California.

He revisited the attack in a tweet on Tuesday morning that tied Waters to two of his other favorite targets, Nancy Pelosi and ‘Crooked Hillary’ Clinton.

‘The face of the Democrats is now Maxine Waters who, together with Nancy Pelosi, have established a fine leadership team,’ he charged in a tweet. ‘They should always stay together and lead the Democrats, who want Open Borders and Unlimited Crime, well into the future….and pick Crooked Hillary for Pres.’

Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House of Representatives, also hails from Waters’ home state of California. 

The two women have been among the most outspoken national Democrats about the president’s plans to overhaul the immigration system.

But Waters has taken her criticisms even further, calling for Trump’s impeachent.

Over the weekend, she stepped up her assault on the administration, telling a crowd that they should confront and get administration officials booted from businesses whenever they see them.

Trump, in response, warned her to ‘be careful’ in a tweet that revisited a controversial claim that the African-American representatives is an ‘extraordinarily low-IQ individual.’

In Columbia, later in the evening, at a campaign rally to support the campaign of the state’s governor, Republican Henry McMaster, the president said of Democrats, ‘It’s the party of Maxine Waters.’

To boos, he repeated, ‘This has become the party of Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi.’

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders also heaped scorn Monday on the Democratic congresswoman, telling reporters at that the liberal firebrand’s open call for harrassment of Trump supporters is ‘unacceptable.’ 

‘This weekend,’ Sanders said Monday, ‘a member of Congress called for people to “push back” and make clear to those serving their country in this administration that they are not welcome anywhere, anytime, for anything.’

Pelosi on Monday also condemned Waters remarks as ‘unacceptable’ while firmly placing the deterioration of discourse on the sitting president.

Waters remarks were tied to a series of incidents sparked by a rural Virginia restaurateur’s decision to kick Sanders and her husband out because she works for the Trump administration.

‘We are allowed to disagree, but we should be able to do so freely and without fear of harm,’ Sanders said in response. ‘And this goes for all people regardless of politics.’

Last week protesters from Democratic Socialists of America forced Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to leave a Mexican restaurant in Washington, D.C., complaining loudly about the White House’s immigration policies. 

And protesters accosted Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, a prominent Trump supporter, outside a film screening Friday night.

The movie was ‘Won’t You Be My Neighbor,’ a documentary about the mild-mannered children’s TV pioneer Fred Rogers.

Waters heaped fuel on the fire Saturday, and the president blasted her back on Monday on Twitter.  

‘Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!’ Trump tweeted Monday. 

It is unclear what the president meant by the implicit threat in the tweet to Waters.

The never-shy lawmaker, a California Democrat who is a vocal Trump critic, made her war cry at a public rally in Los Angeles outside a federal building.

She was condemning the Trump administration policy on immigration – particularly the separation of illegal immigrant children from their families – and called on him once again to be impeached.

‘Let’s stay the course. Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up and if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,’ she yelled as supporters cheered.

She added: ‘Mr. President, we will see you every day, every hour of the day, everywhere that we are to let you know you cannot get away with this!’

She warned those who work for Trump will get no peace.

‘For these members of his Cabinet who remain and try to defend him, they’re not going to be able to go to a restaurant. They’re not going to be able to stop at a gas station. They’re not going to be able to shop at a department store,’ she said. ‘The people are going to turn on them. They’re going to protest. They’re going to absolutely harass them until they decide that they’re going to tell the president, ‘No I can’t hang with you — this is wrong, this is unconscionable, and we can’t keep doing this to children.”

Waters holds what is seen as a safely Democratic House seat that she was first elected to in 1990. She is being challenged by Republican candidate Omar Navarro, who has the endorsement of former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Republicans swiftly criticized Waters. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi referred to Waters’ comments as ‘unacceptable’ while blaming Trump’s ‘daily lack of civility’ for provoking them.

‘Trump’s daily lack of civility has provoked responses that are predictable but unacceptable,’ she wrote on a retweet of a CNN story on Waters’ remarks. ‘As we go forward, we must conduct elections in a way that achieves unity from sea to shining sea.’

Meghan McCain, the daughter of Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, called Waters’ comments ‘absolutely insane’ and ‘extremely dangerous’ in her Twitter post on the incident.

Republican House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said on Fox News that what Waters was doing was also ‘very dangerous.’ 

‘She should apologize to the American public,’ he said. 

Waters is a longtime liberal and foe to Republican presidents, including Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. She was a vocal critic of the war in Iraq during the second Bush’s presidency.  

Waters, at her rally, used colorful, flashy rhetoric to whip up the crowd. 

‘History will record while he tried to step on all of us, we kicked him in his rear and step on him,’ she said 

‘If you think we’re rallying now, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet,’ she added.

Then she called on people to assail administration officials where ever they saw them in public.

Waters’ plea followed two incidents involving high-profile members of Trump’s administration. 

On Friday, the owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Va., asked Sanders to leave because of her job.

And last week Nielsen was run out of a Mexican restaurant in Washington, D.C. by protesters.

The protesters descended on MXDC Cocina Mexicana by Todd English, where Nielsen was dining with a male colleague just hours after Donald Trump praised her for doing a ‘fabulous job’ at a Monday press conference.

‘Secretary Nielsen how dare you spend your evening here eating dinner,’ one protester begins to yell in a video. ‘You’re complicit in the separation and deportation of over 10,000 children separated from their parents.’

Protesters began chanting: ‘If kids don’t eat in peace, you don’t eat in peace! Not in D.C., not in the U.S.!’
