Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) was caught on video telling a group of homeless people to "go home" at a chaotic event on Friday. Waters also instructed a journalist not to cover the story, according to a report.
Hundreds of homeless people showed up in Los Angles to obtain Section 8 housing vouchers that were falsely promoted on social media. An incorrect and unofficial social media post promised vouchers for permanent, subsidized housing to homeless people on Friday.
Homeless people, many of whom showed up at daybreak for housing assistance, were completely devastated when they discovered that they could not get a rare voucher. Some in the crowd became disgruntled, and heated arguments erupted.
When Waters was confronted by the disheartened crowd, she became snippy.
Waters, with her face mask pulled below her chin, told the group of homeless people, "I want everybody to go home."
The command was met with resistance and ridicule by the destitute Angelenos.
One woman in the crowd yelled, "We don’t got no home, that’s why we’re here. What home we gonna go to?”
Waters told the crowd, "Nothing is going to happen here today."
At one point, Waters became frustrated and lashed out, "Excuse me, there’s nobody in Washington who works for their people any f***ing harder than I do. I don’t want to hear this. No, no, no."
"That’s what I do every day. The money that you got thus far came from me in Washington, D.C.," the finger-wagging Waters scolded the crowd.
Pure comedy gold!
California gets what they deserve.
