Mad Maxine!Mad Maxine!
The World According To Ben Stein
“Mad” Maxine Waters (who for years called for republicans to be harassed in public spaces) calls for “confrontation” and no surprise, Dems refuse at the very least to censure! While President Trump called for peace and was backstabbed, rebuked and impeached by some Republicans. “Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends,” applies to not only President Trump, but it also applies to us. We need new friends and that has to start immediately.
