(WASHINGTON, D.C.) Rep. Maxine Watters (D-Calif.) reacted strongly after a House committee witness called her the “sweetest member of Congress.” Steadying her tone and composure before responding, Waters looked sternly at the witness and said,”Madam, I do not know you. I’ve never met you before today. But you obviously don’t know me, either. Now, I doubt you did your homework before you came before this committee, but the next time you are called to provide expert testimony, I suggest you get a better lay of the land.” Waters went on to accuse Republicans of racism and called former President Donald Trump “the biggest threat to democracy the country has ever faced.”
