You know Democrats are scraping the bottom of the barrel when they pin their future on a 78-year-old career politician who thinks Vladimir Putin invaded Korea.

California Congresswoman Maxine Waters was declared “the newest hero of the anti-Trump” movement by leftist website BuzzFeed and an “icon of the Trump resistance” by MSNBC.

Despite 13 terms in Congress, Waters only recently gained a national profile, after vowing to obstruct President Trump and promising to impeach him, even though Waters’ pal Nancy Pelosi conceded that Trump has committed no impeachable offenses.

In the nauseating puff piece, BuzzFeed hailed “Auntie Maxine” as a powerful “icon” who stands for Democratic values.

Congresswoman Waters is that light. She’s shaking it up and telling the truth, and we all owe her for it. She’s the Auntie Boss: As real as your Auntie and as powerful as only a black woman could be.

Maxine Waters’ career highlights include being rated one of the “most corrupt” members of Congress in 2005, 2006, and 2008 by the George Soros-funded liberal watchdog CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington).

In 2008, Waters was charged with three counts of ethical violations after allegedly helping OneUnited bank secure $12 million in federal bailout funds while hiding the fact that her husband owned stock in the bank.

In February, Waters gave a press conference where she claimed Russian President Putin invaded Korea and she couldn’t remember what Aleppo was (it is the war-torn city in Syria that’s the epicenter of the refugee crisis).

Last week, Waters made headlines after Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly joked that her “James Brown” wig distracted him from hearing what she said during an unhinged anti-Trump rant.

O’Reilly later apologized, but the joke’s on him. Because James Brown’s hair was real.

Meanwhile, Twitter LOL’ed at Maxine Waters being hailed a Democratic hero.
