Maxine Waters on Trump: He doesn’t even know how to...

Rep. Maxine Waters continued her war of words with President Trump Saturday in Oakland, with the Los Angeles Democrat saying Trump was “embarrassing us every day” during his trip through Europe.

“He’s over there supposedly meeting on NATO. He doesn’t know a darn thing about it,” Waters, a Los Angeles Democrat told a meeting of the California Democratic Party’s women’s caucus. “He doesn’t even understand what GDP is. As a matter of fact, he doesn’t even know how to spell his own wife’s name.”

Waters has been critcized by Trump and by some of her fellow Democrats, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, for comments she’s made urging people to protest Trump Cabinet members in public.

Last month in Los Angeles, Waters said, “if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they are not welcome anymore, anywhere,” Waters said. “Mr. President, we will see you every day, every hour of the day, everywhere that we are. We're going to let you know you cannot get away with this.”

Trump responded via Twitter by calling Waters an “extraordinarily low I.Q. person.”

Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 25, 2018

On Sunday, the 313 executive board members meeting in Oakland this weekend will consider a resolution supporting Waters “and her right to protest, a right protected by the First Amdendment of the Constitution.”

Waters exercised her free speech rights Saturday, riffing for nearly 10 minutes as the crowd of roughly 100 state party executive board members and top Democrats including Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, lieutenant governor candidate Eleni Kounalakis, and Pelosi’s daughter, women’s caucus chair Christine Pelosi, cheered and roared with laughter.

Waters mocked Trump for appearing not to know the words to the national anthem at a White House “Celebration of America” event last month.

“He tells us that he’s such a patriot, (that) he loves the flag,” Waters said. “But he doesn’t know the words to the Star Spangled Banner. So just forget him. He lies every day.”

Waters also defended herself for ongoing criticism for her comments last month.

“They can’t tell you how to protest, what you can do what you can’t do,” Waters said. “All we know is we’re peaceful. We are following what the Constitution guarantees us.”

Even though many Democrats complain that they are exhausted by the actions of the Trump Administration, she said, ““I ain’t tired.”

“I’m not going to stop. I’m not going to give up,” Waters said. “And I’m not asking anybody for permission to protest.”
