Maxine Waters And April Ryan Shouldn't Have To Put Up With Rude And Racist Remarks From Conservative Douchebags

... a turn. Ryan asked about a meeting with former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, someone who hasn’t supported Trump. Spicer responded:”It’s interesting that you ask those two questions back to back. On the one hand, you’re saying what are we doing to improve our image? And then here he is once again meeting somebody that hasn’t been a big supporter of his. … It seems like you’re hellbent on trying to make sure that whatever image you want to tell about this White House stays. … I’m sorry, please stop shaking your head again.”. Are you fucking kidding me, Spicey ? Someone should give Ryan (who's been sitting through White House briefings since Bill Clinton's second term) a goddamned medal—or better yet, a raise—for not losing her cool. 'Course, if she lost her composure for even a second, she would have been branded with the racist stereotype of an Angry Black Woman. Ryan responded to the incident on MSNBC. April Ryan responds on ...

Bill O'reilly Mocks Maxine Waters' Hair, Won't Listen To Her Because Of James Brown Wig

... at O'Reilly's joke. After the clip began to go viral, in a statement to Mic, a representative for Fox News said that Earhardt, in response to O'Reilly's comments, said, "I have to defend her [Waters] on that. You can't go after a woman's looks. I think she's very attractive.". This isn't the first time a Fox News correspondent has lobbed a racially-insensitive barb Waters' way. In 2012, host Eric Bolling told Waters to " step away from the crack pipe " after video surfaced of Waters calling Republicans John Boehner and Eric Cantor "demons.". That O'Reilly mocked Waters — who is 79 years old and has held public office for 37 years  — for her hair instead of listening to what she said is telling. Rather than listening to her critiques, O'Reilly felt it was OK to deride Waters for her appearance, something that probably wouldn't happen to a white man. O'Reilly's attack is classic misogynoir — a specific type of anti-woman and anti-black ...

Maxine Waters Isn't In Any Position To Lecture On Ethics

... a more than checkered past. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya). Maxine Waters isn't in any position to lecture on ethics. By Philip Wegmann • 3/21/17 1:15 PM. Philip Wegmann Commentary Blogger The Washington Examiner. The longer a politician stays in Washington, as a rule of thumb, the more difficult it becomes to keep his nose clean. Democrats ought to apply that reasoning and skip over Maxine Waters if they're looking for a new conscience of the House. After three decades in Congress, the California Democrat has a more than checkered past. But that didn't keep her from predicting President Trump's political demise. "Get ready for impeachment," Waters cryptically tweeted out of the blue on Trump's 61 st day in office and without further explanation. If Waters hasn't completely discredited herself already — last week, she claimed, sans evidence, that the salacious details about Trump contained in the Buzz Feed dossier were true — then a quick review of her record should be enough to dissuade Democrats from following her lead.
