In a new interview with MSNBC, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) declared she is “disgusted” by Republican senators who continue to refuse to support an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.
“I am disgusted with those spineless members of the Senate who don’t have the guts to stand up for this country,” Waters told MSNBC on Sunday.
“Many of them have defined themselves as patriotic.”
“They’re not patriotic,” she said.
“They are spineless and they’re not willing to step up and do what needs to be done in recognizing the danger of this president.”
“They’re willing to harm our country, and so, I want all of the American population to understand who is in that Senate, what they’re doing, whether or not they want them to remain there if, in fact, they don’t come forward,” added the liberal congresswoman.
Not stopping there, Waters doubled down on her comments later on in the interview, saying she has no respect for lawmakers who refuse to stand up to Trump.
“I have no respect for any senator, any member of Congress, who is not willing to put themselves on the line for this country,” she said.
Waters has been a frequent critic of Trump ever since he took office — she often slams him both in the media and on Twitter.
Just last week, she tweeted outrageously that Trump should be “imprisoned” and placed in “solitary confinement.”

“I’m calling on the GOP to stop Trump’s filthy talk of whistleblowers being spies & using mob language implying they should be killed,” Waters tweeted.
“Impeachment is not good enough for Trump.”
“He needs to be imprisoned & placed in solitary confinement. But for now, impeachment is the imperative.”

Also last week, Waters bizarrely claimed that Trump is “setting some of us up to be killed” in another interview with MSNBC.

Waters has shown that she will say almost anything to try to make Trump look bad — so it’s impossible to take anything she says seriously.
The only thing her off-the-wall rants against Trump are doing is showing the world the Left really has launched a witch hunt against the president — and that many people will stop at nothing to take him down.
If Waters keeps this up, she may just become one of Trump’s secret weapons in the 2020 presidential election.
