Waters spoke next to the enlarged photo as she commemorated the 27th anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act a day earlier.

"It is a day to reflect on how people with disabilities are treated in our society," Waters began.

"Our president indicated to us what he thinks about people with disabilities long before he was elected, when he mocked a disabled reporter. Mocking the disabled is rude and insensitive and it sends a terrible message to our children."

Waters originally planned to speak next to a photo of Trump mocking the disabled reporter that appeared to have a caption. But the House presiding officer instructed Waters to use a different poster, which was an otherwise identical photo without any caption.

“Would you tell us why?" Waters inquired.

"It’s the determination of the chair that it’s a breach of the decorum of the House," the presiding officer replied.

WHAT decorum? Classless assholes are in charge. They don't know from "decorum."

Go, Maxine!

How can you say he is "a breach of" of anything?
Unless, of course, he is.

I would never leave her, except if it was for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, I just added Rep. Maxine Waters to that list. Sorry Hun.

Those who now feign shock are just as bad as him. Or who ignored it for their own advantage.

That picture shows him in his truest form- childish, cruel, ugly, small-minded, vindictive and ignorant as hell.

I must be missing something, I know you pretty well by now and don't think you meant it
as a racial slur.

The first time I heard about it was in an interview with her on Joy's show.

Here is the video (at the @ 8:30 mark):
