But once Waters started to respond in kind, McClintock tried to interrupt and discipline her. And she was not here for it.

“I want you to know that I am more offended as an African-American woman than you will ever be,” she said, speaking directly to Kelly. “And this business about making America great again, it is your president that's dividing this country and don't talk to me about the fact that we don't understand... No, I will not yield, no I will not yield. Don't tell me we don't understand, that's the attitude given toward women time and time again.”

When McClintock tried to interrupt, more than once, Waters did not hold back.

“You did not interrupt [Kelly] when he was making those outrageous remarks about him knowing more about discrimination than I know about discrimination. I resent that, and I resent the talk about making America great again.”

She continued: “He’s down here making a speech [about] this dishonorable president of the United States of America… and no I don’t yield (to Kelly), not one second to you. Not one second. Not one second to you.“


Thank you Maxine for shutting down a bigot, and for standing up to the chair!!!!!!!!!!!
