Congresswoman Maxine Waters reaffirms 'impeach Trump' mission during BET ceremony
By NICOLE PHILLIP • Aug 7, 2017, 7:32 AM ET
Congresswoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., offered a thorough response to all the attention she’s received in her very public battle against President Trump at BET’s “Black Girls Rock!” celebration on Saturday night.
Waters is known for her candid and direct remarks, recently saying that she is working to “impeach” the president and proudly proclaiming that she’s “a strong Black woman” in a broadcast interview, and she brought the same fiery soundbites to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center as she received her “social humanitarian” honor.
After taking a moment to share her admiration for her peers, the Waters said that if not for the "love and respect" shown to her by other black women, her Republican counterparts would "have me believe I’m too black, I’m too confrontational, that I’m too disrespectful of them."
She also doubled down on her calls for impeachment.
“Not only will we resist you, we will impeach you, Donald Trump” she said to an enthusiastic crowd.
