Trump calls Maxine Waters ‘unhinged’ after she wins re-election primary

Donald Trump congratulated Rep. Maxine Waters on Wednesday for winning her re-election primary in the most Donald Trump way possible.

‘Congratulations to Maxine Waters, whose crazy rants have made her, together with Nancy Pelosi, the unhinged FACE of the Democrat Party,’ he tweeted.

‘Together, they will Make America Weak Again! But have no fear, America is now stronger than ever before, and I’m not going anywhere!’

The tweet was the president’s third online swipe at Waters in the past week. 

Waters scooped up 71 per cent of the vote but will have to face Republican Omar Navarro in the fall to keep control of her reliably liberal district in south Los Angeles County that is 70 per cent black and Hispanic.

Waters became a Trumpian lightning rod on Saturday when she urged her supporters to harass members of his administration.

Trump said Monday evening at a rally that the Democratic Party has become consumed with talk of impeachment, largelly driven by the California Democrat. 

On Tuesday morning he framed her return to front pages as a symptom of a Democratic Party gone wild.

‘The face of the Democrats is now Maxine Waters who, together with Nancy Pelosi, have established a fine leadership team,’ Trump tweeted. ‘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 California.

The two women are among the U.S. politicians who have been the most critical about the president’s plan to overhaul the immigration system. 

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders on Monday heaped scorn on Waters, telling reporters that the liberal firebrand’s open call for harrassing 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.’ 

‘We are allowed to disagree, but we should be able to do so freely and without fear of harm,’ Sanders said. ‘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 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. 

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.

‘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!’
