Maxine Waters: Trump Is ‘Racist’ For Questioning My IQ
[DAILYCALLER] On Saturday night, President Trump addressed the annual Gridiron Club Dinner, an event that is known for its humor. Trump took jabs at his own administration and many of his rivals, and at one point joked that Rep. Waters should "immediately take an IQ test."

Waters was afforded an opportunity to respond to the joke by Joy Ann Reid, host of MSNBC’s "AM Joy."

The Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Democrat did not think the joke was funny and questioned Trump’s own mental agility before accusing him of racism.

"Well, you know, this president has been called stupid, he has been called ignorant, and even his secretary of state did not deny that he called him a moron," Waters said. "And so he has no credibility. He has been name calling, he’s been saying all kinds of things."

"I certainly expected him to come out with some racist remarks about me," she asserted. "So he did exactly what I expected him do. And, by the way, I’m told he wasn’t funny at all."

#3 Trump's statement can only be considered racist if she believes all blacks are as dumb as she.

#4 Given how truly stupid she appears to be, and her continued lifetime in public office from overwhelmingly black constituencies, their is a lot of stupid going around wherever she is elected.

#5 Maxine, Trump's question was rhetorical.

Maybe even theoretical . . . .
