U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters got a standing ovation at Aretha Franklin's funeral on Friday at Greater Grace Temple.

Bishop Charles Ellis II singled out the California congresswoman during the service acknowledging how she has come under fire, apparently referring to President Trump's Twitter attacks on the Democrat.

"Everybody just point over there and tell her 'We got your back,' " Ellis said. "Come on, say it so everybody can hear you out there, 'We got your back!'"

Waters stood up and crossed her arms in "Wakanda Forever!" salute. Twitter went crazy for "Auntie Maxine."
