Monday at Capitol Hill at a House Democrats news conference, when asked about her comments last week that her “greatest desire,” would be to impeach President Donald Trump, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said while she has not yet called for impeachment, she added, “We cannot continue to have a president who is acting in this manner. It is dangerous to the United States of America.”
Waters said, “I have not called for the impeachment yet. He is doing it himself. Let me just say that the he statement I made was a statement in response to questions and pleas that I’m getting from many citizens across this country. What are we going to do? How can a president, who is acting in the manner that he is acting, whether he is talking about the travel ban, the way he is targeting Muslims, or whether he’s talking about his relationship to Putin and the Kremlin, and knowing that they have hacked our DCCC and DNC, and knowing that he is responsible for supplying the bombs that killed innocent children and families in Aleppo.”
“The fact that he is wrapping his arms around Putin while Putin is continuing to advance into Crimea,” she continued. “I think that he is leading himself into that kind of position where folks will begin ask what are we going to do, and the answer will be eventually, we have to do something about him. We cannot continue to have a president who is acting in this manner. It is dangerous to the United States of America. ”
