It’s always entertaining when a Democrat gets cornered by a question that cuts a little too close to the truth. That’s exactly what happened when a RealLindelTV reporter caught up with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) on the steps of the Capitol and asked her the obvious: Are Democrats really willing to shut down the government to give healthcare to illegal immigrants?
At first, Waters played it cool. But once she realized where the question was headed, she got testy, fast.
“We want to save lives,” Waters said, claiming Democrats are pushing for “healthcare for everybody.” Sounds noble, right? But what she really meant was “everybody,” including those who came here illegally. You know, the same people whose very presence breaks U.S. immigration law, now apparently entitled to taxpayer-funded healthcare, courtesy of the American worker.
When pressed on whether she was comfortable with the federal government shutting down over this issue, Waters snapped. “You’re standing here and you’re trying to make me say that somehow we’re going to put non-citizens over Americans. Quit it. Stop it. This is the kind of journalism we don’t need,” she barked at the reporter.
Ah yes, the classic deflection tactic: accuse the journalist of being divisive for asking a question you don’t want to answer. The truth is, she did give the game away. Because the facts speak for themselves. Democrats are blocking funding bills unless they include benefits for illegal immigrants. Period.
Townhall broke it down plainly. Waters is part of the same Democrat Party that’s holding government funding hostage over demands to extend healthcare subsidies to “lawfully present” non-citizens, a vague term that conveniently covers a wide range of immigration statuses, many of which are already being litigated in court.
And let’s not forget, this is Maxine Waters we’re talking about. The same woman who told a crowd in 2018 to “push back” on Trump administration officials in public and tell them “they’re not welcome anymore anywhere.” But now she’s complaining about divisiveness? Give us a break.
These people think the rules don’t apply to them. They want to bankrupt the country, open the borders, and hand out freebies, all while scolding anyone who dares to ask why Americans should foot the bill.
Their old tactics aren’t working anymore. Voters are paying attention. And Maxine just proved it.
