He asked. She answered.
Nearly a year ago, Donald Trump courted black voters by asking, “What the hell do you have to lose?”
Now, more than six months into the president’s term, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) says the nation’s black community has its answer.
The 14-term congresswoman wrote:
Trump asked what Blacks had to lose. It was apparently healthcare, housing, college admission, & freedom after Sessions locks everyone up
Sessions is a threat to our democracy, working to reverse civil rights gains in college admission, police misconduct, & crim justice reform
Coretta Scott King warned everyone in ’86 about Sessions’ “reprehensible conduct” & “abuse of elderly black voters.” Sessions hasn’t changed
Sessions’ history of hardline positions against criminal justice reform, immigration & the violence against women act are well documented
Trump wants to fire Sessions b/c he can’t count on his protection. He should be fired for his racist agenda – but that’s why Trump chose him
Waters has rapidly become a social media star in progressive circles for her staunch opposition to Trump’s agenda. Last week, a video of her confrontation with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin went viral and inspired a gospel song.
