We hate for anyone to have to listen to Rep. Maxine Waters speak, but you have to watch nearly to the end of this clip to hear her explain why California, which moved up its primary, should have more influence in the Democratic primary. You see, while some candidates are raising money from “thousands of millions” of donors, they’re also flying out to Beverly Hills for fancy parties where they rake in the real money. So if Hollywood is going to contribute so much to Democratic campaigns, why shouldn’t California have more influence?

Dem Rep. Maxine Waters complains that IA and NH are the first caucus and primary. She says she thinks CA should "have more say" in Dem primary b/c of all the money rich people in Beverly Hills give Dems during “fancy parties” and big money fundraisers.pic.twitter.com/HKPB2PuUFW — Tommy Pigott (@TCPigott) February 13, 2020

The rich elite Democrats should get the power…not the poor Iowans…they dont even throw the big parties we do — Jenniferjoy175⭐⭐⭐ (@Jenniferalbail) February 13, 2020

California, the Mike Bloomberg of primary states. — Polly Karr (@karr_pe) February 13, 2020

Remember when hypocrite Elizabeth Warren was attacking Pete Buttigieg during the debates for holding a fundraiser in some guy’s wine cave? Yep, that was California.

Love how she puts down Iowa and New Hampshire. I am sure that the representatives from those states would love to have a chat with her. — bustersmom (@4bustersmom) February 13, 2020
