Democratic Rep. Waters calls GOP leadership 'demons'
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), in video surfacing Wednesday, called Republican leaders Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor “demons” who are “destroying this country.”
“We’ve got to take back the House,” Waters said last weekend in seeking to rally California Democrats to political action in the final moments of her speech to the California Democratic Convention.
She pointed to the display behind her as she continued: "I saw pictures of Boehner and Cantor on our screens. Don't ever let me see again, in life, those Republicans in our hall, on our screens, talking about anything. These are demons. These are legislators who are destroying this country rather than bringing us together, creating jobs, making sure we have a good tax policy, bringing our jobs from back off-shore, incentivizing those who keep the jobs here. They are bringing down this country, destroying this country, because they’d rather do whatever they can do destroy this president rather than for the good of this country.”
Waters is known for using fiery rhetoric against the opposition. Last summer, she said in a speech that "as far as I'm concerned, the Tea Party can go straight to hell.”
She slammed the Republican Party and the “wanna-be presidents” for “delivering their destructive rhetoric” and constantly “ranting and raving” about “bringing down” President Obama.
The California Democrat also noted that if Democrats re-take the majority, she would become the chairwoman of the House Committee on Financial Services, the committee that regulates Wall Street.
Banks are "shaking in their boots,” she said.
