It has been reported earlier today that California Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters blistered members of her own party by suggesting they were racist because they do not support several far-left measures the party is pushing.
During an interview on MSNBC, Waters attacked Democrat Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, claiming they “don’t care” about black people and minorities.
Waters’ comments were in reference to Manchin and Sinema publicly declaring that they oppose Democrats’ efforts to eliminate the Senate filibuster so that they can ram through their partisan agenda.
“They have sent the signal. They have been clear about it. They don’t care about minorities. They don’t care about blacks. They don’t care about people in their own districts who they’re going to deny their voting rights and undermine their voting rights,” Waters said. “I must always be optimistic. But this is a very difficult time for Democrats.”
“We have two Democrats, Manchin and Sinema, and they are holding up the Democratic agenda. They have decided that they are going to stick with support of the filibuster, and they don’t care whether or not they undermine the rights of minorities and blacks in this country,” she continued.
“It’s not what Democrats need to do. We’re doing everything that can be done,” she claimed. “It’s what Republicans need to do. Why is it we don’t have one Republican, not one that will stand up for the voting rights for people in this country? And so I hear a lot of talk about our president. He’s fighting as hard as he can. I don’t know why people think that he can make Manchin and make Sinema do what is right.”
