Representative Maxine Waters has doubled down on her criticism of Donald Trump after he mocked former vice president Joe Biden during a recent visit to Japan, and it's fair to say she didn't hold back.
In a now-deleted tweet shared over Memorial Day weekend, Trump insulted Biden after Kim Jong-Un insulted the former vice president, calling him a 'Swampman' and a 'fool of low IQ'.
In the tweet, Breitbart News reports that the president wrote:
I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me, & also smiled when he called Swampman Joe Biden a low IQ individual, & worse.
However, Waters wasn't having any of it. On Tuesday, she fired off a series of tweets in response to the president's tweet, writing:
Trump is an embarrassing unAmerican traitor! How dare he denounce and belittle VP Biden on foreign soil on Memorial Day! How can these spineless Republicans look their spouses and children in the face and claim to teach them patriotism?
She then added:
America's disgraceful president is totally out of control! He is now supporting murderous dictator Kim Jong Un who is testing ballistic missiles and threatening the United States. Does Trump's desire to be a dictator supercede the security of his own country?
Finally, just to make sure it all hit home, she summed it up with the ultimate put down:
Low life Trump - lying, crooked, tax evader, porn star fornicator - should take his ridiculous self home, resign, and free us of what we will have to do to impeach him and throw him out of office!
Hours after Waters' tweets, the Biden campaign issued its own response to Trump's insulting tweets. Deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said:
To be on foreign soil, on Memorial Day, and to side repeatedly with a murderous dictator against a fellow American and former Vice President speaks for itself.Â
And it’s part of a pattern of embracing autocrats at the expense of our institutions – whether taking Putin’s word at face value in Helsinki or exchanging ‘love letters’ with Kim Jong Un.Â
Trump and Waters have a long history of exchanging blows. In 2018, the president and Waters began sparring after she encouraged people at a Los Angeles event to make Trump administration officials feel uncomfortable if they spot them in public.
Speaking at the event in June, she said:
If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd.
In response, Trump called her 'crazy' and said she'd cause people to 'flee the Democrats'.
Crazy Maxine Waters, said by some to be one of the most corrupt people in politics, is rapidly becoming, together with Nancy Pelosi, the FACE of the Democrat Party. Her ranting and raving, even referring to herself as a wounded animal, will make people flee the Democrats!
