Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters reportedly tried to discourage a local journalist from reporting on a story about her remarks at a chaotic event when hundreds of homeless people in Los Angeles showed up to score Section 8 housing vouchers after responding to misleading information on social media.
Last week, after a nonprofit homeless advocacy group had planned the event to assist the homeless in obtaining emergency shelter, an “unofficial social media post” inaccurately said that whoever showed up would receive vouchers for permanent, subsidized housing. With the vouchers being very rare, the announcement generated a large turnout of people who became unruly after showing up.
The South Los Angeles office of Fathers and Mothers Who Care was overwhelmed by the miserable throng who, believing that they had a chance to get off the streets, had lined up since before daybreak only to have their hopes doused which resulted in confusion and anger for hundreds of Waters’ constituents.
100s of people were misinformed & lined up thinking housing vouchers were being handed out today. Congresswoman Maxine Waters noticed the crowd and stopped by to give them the real information about the emergency housing vouchers and help out. @RepMaxineWaters @MaxineWaters @ABC7 pic.twitter.com/LYEs5Fq8gO

According to a report by the Los Angeles Times, “heated arguments broke out among the hundreds of people who turned out for assistance” which “overwhelmed Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority workers” who were there at the behest of Waters who “delivered emotionally charged remarks to the crowd Friday, at one point using an expletive to defend her efforts to relieve the city’s housing and homelessness crisis.”
The “expletive” referred to the F-bomb dropped by the congresswoman who angrily reacted to the disappointed crowd after her stunningly out-of-touch remark for them to “go home” which prompted one homeless person to say “we don’t got no home” at the rattled octogenarian lawmaker who became defensive.
“Waters, who wore a powder blue pantsuit and had a black face mask pulled down below her chin, laughed and said, ‘Nothing is going to happen here today.’ Her remarks were captured in video of the event obtained by The Times,” the paper reported. “Less than half a minute later, the congresswoman responded to a question from the founder of Kingdom Warriors Foundation, a local housing advocacy nonprofit. Jabbing her finger into the air, Waters said, ‘Excuse me, there’s nobody in Washington who works for their people any f— harder than I do. I don’t want to hear this. No, no, no.'”
“Waters then answered a plea that she work with the community to address the housing crisis: ‘That’s what I do every day. The money that you got thus far came from me in Washington, D.C.’ She walked away moments later after telling the crowd, ‘I will continue to work. I will get the information out to you,'” according to the Times.
Auntie Maxine also lashed out at the Los Angeles Times investigative reporter who was writing an account of the day’s events, making what could be perceived as a veiled threat during a phone call to Washington in which she dismissed the kerfuffle as “a bunch of rumors” while attempting to discourage the story’s publication.
“You’ll hurt yourself and the community trying to put this together without background,” she said to reporter Connor Sheets. “I don’t want you to start trying to write it, you won’t understand it.”
Twitter users reacted to Rep. Waters’ latest public relations dumpster fire.
How foolish and out of touch can you be @RepMaxineWaters? Telling your homeless constituents to “go home” 🤣🤣🤣 #TermLimits

Maxine Waters is a horrible person, she shouldn't be allowed to hold any public office. Anyone remember how she incited riots? Now she tells homeless people to go home, anyone seen what her district looks like? Every democrat run city is a shit hole.

Rep Waters is not the problem
Want to see the problem? Look in a mirror: the people that keep voting in MWaters of the world are the problem.
Her election victory is 100% guaranteed, based on job performance? lol. No, based on the stupidity of her district’s residents.

You can't make this stuff up.
Maxine Waters was at an event when hundreds of homeless people showed up thinking they were handing out vouchers. Soon overwhelmed. Maxine told everyone to go home. Some said "we ain't got no home", some said "which home you want us to go to. Lol— @wilnil (@wilnil4) March 31, 2022
Maxine Waters, like many of her fellow politicians are so tone deaf & incentive to constituents need. She was heard telling a large & chaotic crowd of homeless people to "go home". What fine choice of words from a politician who doesn't understand the plight of others.

Maxine Waters is so out of touch with the homeless in California she actually tells them to go home.
— Kate Rosenberger (@KayLamb19024693) March 31, 2022
Sheets’ report provides the accounts of some of the people who were turned away including a 77-year-old disabled woman.
“I’m homeless. I’m living wherever I can. And when I heard about this, I came down here on Friday,” said Joyce Burnett.
“Maxine Waters was here, and she said to come back Tuesday with our paperwork filled out,” she said. “I have it, everything they asked for. But every time we get near the front of the line, they shut the door. They opened the door about 20 minutes ago and said they’re not servicing anyone else today.”
“I had a doctor’s appointment I had to cancel because I thought I would be seen here today. I wasted two whole days of my life doing this — Friday and today,” said 36-year-old Cre King who has been homeless for about six months and responded to the erroneous Instagram post. “We’re all here, we’re all struggling. Times are hard.”
“Blanca Jimenez, Waters’ district director, did not provide answers to a list of detailed questions sent via email, instead providing a link to a TV station’s glowing coverage of Waters’ appearance at the Friday event along with an image of Waters addressing the crush of people in the heart of her congressional district,” the paper reported. “’Someone shared this photo with the office,’ Jimenez wrote. ‘Isn’t she brave?'”
Whether there will be a price to pay at the ballot box for Waters come November is unknown although it’s doubtful considering that Democrats in distressed areas continue to vote against their own self-interests by electing politicians who never do anything that actually improves their lives.

There are 3 kinds of Liberal, Communist, America hating, immoral, corrupt, fact hiding, non-binary, queer loving, race baiting, lying, Democrat’s, RINO Republicans’ and Media: 1) They don’t care what happens, they just hate Original American Values – 2) Their ignorant of facts or just ignorant, – 3) They want the destruction of America by any means possible, and promote all the above agenda’s,
How many of those “homeless”, nevertheless, somehow received mail-in ballots to vote for Maxie?
and you know she will go down in history as a hero that fought so hard for the poor and homeless. Just like Baltimore Congressman Elijah Cummings and Atlanta’s John Lewis . But they actually did nothing for anyone but themselves. Their constituents are poor and she is wealthy and Elijah and Lewis died a very wealthy men.
Absolutely correct. Wealth victims to the end.
HAHAHA Maxine the dirt bag does not even live in her own district. She does not want to be near all those icky homeless, poor, and criminals, she created.
Homeless sell their votes for a little cash. Then wonder why they can’t get help. Hey losers QUICK CASH HAS CONSERQUENCES. Just saying
Ughhh!! When will the sheep comprehend they get what they vote for!!!
Fools have a really tough time stopping being fools.
“We’re all here, we’re all struggling. Times are hard”….And guess what! They’re only going to get harder under this debacle of a presidency. I would feel sorry for these people except, who the hell keeps voting this woman in. Same thing goes for Pelosi. If you want San Fran to remain a dirty, filthy wasteland full of human wastes and drug paraphernalia, then keep voting her back into office because maybe, just maybe, one of these days she may actually stop lying to you and actually do the things she always promises to do to win your votes. NOT! Maybe the Maxine family should stop embezzling their campaign funds and use them to help the homeless if they really care about their constituents.
When will all those dried up hags retire or move on to that big democrat plantation WAAAYYYY DOWN south??? You know, the REAL HOT ONE!!!
Aannnddd they will elect her again…lmao !!!
Well, of course. She be fighting for the little people. LOL
Waters telling the reporter not to write the story because he won’t understand the background of it? Did she mean the chronic misappropriation of funds when she paid millions to her daughter? How about Waters and bank fraud? When will Angelinos wise up and realize she doesn’t give a rat’s butt about the homeless? Telling them to “Go home!!”? Seriously? The only reason Maxine was in town was to attend an Oscars party. Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi are the two house members who are the most out of touch with their constituents.
She is a sick festering sore on the face of democracy.
You notice “the mouth” thinks the money comes from her NOT THE TAX PAYER. Local papers have been afraid of her for years and have protected her and her husband’s questionable financial actions for years. This is a spin off of the pretender’s crime family. LET’S GO BRANDON! WeLoveTrump.com
Yep. No one works harder stealing your money than Max. The biggest blow hard out there with her $1000 outfit and 10 cent mouth. Entitlement your name is Waters.
That race baiter works really hard to enrich herself, she has been caught with her hands in the cookie jar more than ones, even went up for ethic hearing. Of course Pee-loser just gave her a hand slap, since she is doing the same thing. A real POS!
She stopped to “help out”. She can’t help herself. What a waste of carbon and hydrogen. She is a sad excuse for a human being. Please say adios and leave.
Nothing to worry about Maxine. Your ballot harvesters will make sure 100% of them will vote for you come Election Day.
I was living in SF a number of years ago when SanFraNan told states “Send us your homeless. We will take care of them.” Good old good hearted Pelosi – take care of them with taxpayers money. I was living in 10′ Lance camper then. Do you know how pi zed I was when I learned I was counted as homeless because I had no permanent address? The Mercury news did a series of stories on “Lot Lizards,” those of us living in our vehicles in parking lots where we worked, camp grounds, or other areas where we could park over night. I was far from the only one doing that. And ALL of us, no gas bills, no electric bills, no trash pick up or sewage bills, no cable bills, all the other bills one accumulates when they have an apartment or house. We all had PO boxes.
WE were constantly counted as homeless so City Fathers could get more federal funding to “fight homelessness.”
YOU, American taxpayer, were abused by your own good heartiness once again at the hands of politicians who want you and I and that couple over there fully and 100% dependent on THEM, no freedom, no choice, they will decide what we need, what we should have, and “take care of us.”
Riiiiggghhhhtttt!!!!
Their ballots will be harvested. 100% will vote for Maxine. Next year, when asked to verify their vote they will say “huh?”.
Mad Max is the poster child for everything that’s wrong with the democRATs.
Being a dem politicians means all you do is run for office. You don’t do any actual work, you ask for donations, you blame other people, you lie and cheat and have private security while defunding the cops. All the blood sweat and tears of the civil rights movement has resulted in these idiots. What a waste of effort.
Why don’t they house illegals and homeless on Hawai’i? That state is filled with liberal morons like Hirona. Send all the illegals to Hawai’i. I’d pay to watch that.
My post got flagged!
The best solution to the homeless problem is a high-pressure firehose at 2 AM.
And carpet bombed with soap, workboots and job applications.
I’ve been homeless before. It sucked. So I did something about it.
I know, to some I’m being cruel.
If you looked up stupid in the dictionary you will find Maxine Waters within the definition.
Worthless Waters is one of the most corrupt Dems and thats saying a lot. The people who keep voting for her have to be some of the dumbest people on this planet.
Maybe to get real action, they should call her home home and camp out there asw DUANE stated earlier.
Tell that ol bag to f off and anyone that ever voted for it to take a course in civics to find out how democracy works…
If Waters is the hardest working person in Congress, why is her district still a poverty and crime ridden craphole after her decades in Congress and local office? Why is her disytrict still so bad that she refuses to live in it?
She is another crooked race baiter living off the misery of her people. The sad thing is that her people still fall for her B.S. at their expense.
She needs to follow Elijah Cummings example and die. Just saying
Magilla Maxipad spews her bile… her constituents must be dumber than farm animals…
Mad Max is a menace. Elections have consequences.
Every time I see this woman, Ms waters, I remember two things: Because her district is such a disaster, she lives OUTSIDE her district in a beautiful mansion. And second, I remember obama preaching :REDISTRIBUTION.” So now minorities have nothing as before, but he is in the process of building his 4th MANSION IN HAWAII!!! That is true redistribution!!!!
JUST MOVE YOUR TENTS AND BELONGINGS OVER TO THE FRONT YARD OF HER MANSION PEOPLE ! SHE CARES BIGLY, YOU WILL SEE !! F.J.B.
Mad Max is part of The Problem, BUT The Real Problem Are The IDIOTS that keep voting her in. california is turning into the $hit hole of The U.S.
Waters is the most corrupt, racist and do nothing tax payer parasite in DC. All she has done in 40 years is enrich her husband and herself. HER PEOPLE are not better off after 40 years, just look at how they all live. Her voters ares to stupid they keep re-electing her because she says what they want to hear – that all their problems are “Whitey’s Fault” . This race hustler does not even live in her ghetto district-she lives far away in Baldwin Park in a WHITE gated community and she lives in a 4 million dollar mansion, while they live in a ghetto with homelessness, drug addicts and gang bangers everywhere. How dumb do her voters have to be???
This corrupt all blabbermouth bitch sounds like Mosses.
“ my people “. Go away you useless tit mouse.
Another democrat “Let them eat cake” moment. I have no sympathy for the people of LA and California. They elected these morons and keep them in office. They are reaping what they have sown.
I’m confused. Everyday Joey is in front of the cameras telling us how great his economic recovery is going. He’s put 300 million people back to work, more than the past 45 presidents combined. Yet, just take a look at every Democratically run city, Seattle, Portland, LA, NY and yes, the murder capital of the US, Chicago, all the videos show homeless encampments and tent cities. Yet, when November comes these places will again vote the Democratic ticket. Guess it’s true, you can’t fix stupid!!!!!
Notice she doesn’t live in her district? Black face mask for the black social justice robber?
I truly do not understand why voters vote for someone like mad Max. All she has done is line her pockets and her family. She’s a disgrace. If those people want change then you need to not vote for Max ever again.
Telling the black homeless to go home and come back Tuesday,,hmmm,so she knows as well as the rest of us, her people are there to scam the govnmnt of rental monies,same slugs who didn’t pay their rent,,they deserve to be homeless,,,,,,FJB,,,,,
sympl1
She is almost as stupid as Biden.
She’s right – nobody works harder than Maxi. Unfortunately her efforts are all about graft and corruption, influence peddling, insider trading, illegal campaign practices, race baiting, money laundering, TDS, hate speech, and the list goes on…….
She learned that when Pelosi took her under her wing.
Take them home with you, Maxine! You are one of the most vile persons to ever walk the halls of Congress. Imagine if Trump told a bunch of homeless people to “go home.”
The only thing Waters works hard at is improving her wealth. She lives in a protected mansion not even in her district. She has had more reported ethics violations than probably anyone else in the House. She is a disgrace!!
This is what happens when a bunch of ignorant, entitled ‘boons keep voting for ignorant, entitled ‘boons.
Blacks are a filthy plague on this nation.
Maxine Waters doesn’t even live in her district. Maxine Waters’ $6 million mansion is located in California’s 37th Congressional district despite her representing the far more underserved 43rd district. She is so full of it! She does not care about her constituents!
CORRUPT Old Bag never did an honest days work in her life !
Oh Maxine dear, why didn’t you invite them over to your mansion so they could camp on your front lawn, and be safe. Don’t you care?
That’s where they should have headed without a further word to that low life.
It might be childish of me, but I’d love to see someone snatch that wig off her head and run away with it.
You have a stronger constitution than I do. Don’t think I could handle it.
THE STENCH FROM THAT PILE OF EXCRETMENT WOULD KILL YOU !!
ROTF LMFAO Priceless
Someone ” out there ” should follow up with some unauthorized announcement regarding this Pig’s address, and vouchers being passed out at her security gate !
IF teh politicians won’t go ” to the people ” , we must go to them !
Had enough YET , America ?
I look forward to the day this woman dies
Pardon me but that money didnt come from D.C. It came from the taxpayers . P.S. There isnt a politician in all of America that knows what work is. Just noticing the pic they used. Come on give us a break. Look at that snout. I hope she never sneezes with that thing pointed towards the S.E. That must be where all these fronts come from. The whole of the DNC and Cal are a front.
