Maxine Hung Up

For John, BLUF:  Representative Maxine Waters, a Democrat who does not live in her own LA County District, is being sued for lying about her 2020 opponent, Mr Joe Collins.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Mad Maxine Waters Libeled Navy Vet As ‘Dishonorably Discharged,’ Now She’s Losing In Court

Here is the sub-headline:

Her Political Opponent May Turn Out To Be Her Worst Nightmare

From The Lid Blog, by Mr Wes Walker, 1 March 2021.

Here is the lede plus three:

Mad Maxine blew Joe Collins off when her lawyers were sent proof of honorable service and a cease-and-desist letter.  That was a mistake.

We’ve heard a lot of overheated rhetoric from Mad Maxine Waters over the years.  She calls people racist without any evidence.  She was one of the loudest voices encouraging public confrontations with Republicans.

She got used to getting away with that crap without any serious consequences, even when she’s gotten caught with her hands in the cookie jar.  For example, in 2010, Waters was accused of helping an unsound bank (OneUnited) receive government aid to help her husband, who was an officer and stock-owner of the bank.  She avoided any problems by throwing her grandson and chief of staff under the bus.

Maybe that’s why she thought nothing of slandering the Republican she was running against last November.

Representative Maxine Waters (D, CA) has an over-the-top style, sometimes urging fellow Democrats to get in the face of Trump supporters, making their lives uncomfortable.  She has been known to make some odd comments beyond the mere urging of social aggression.

It couldn't happen to a nicer person.
