Maxine Waters plays to empty seats as only 10 millennials show up to campaign event
2018-06-05
Maxine Waters likes to say millennials love her, but if her own campaign event is any indication, that might be more rhetoric than reality.

79-year-old "Auntie Maxine" held a Meet & Greet Tweet-A-Thon on Sunday for two hours, and while it’s hard to know what she hoped the outcome would be, but the turnout seemed to be underwhelming.
What millennial in their right mind would want to see this racist, senile old windbag?

"Come join top social media influencers for a tweet-a-thon in support of Auntie Maxine, our fearless champion in Congress who taught us how to reclaim our time!" the flyer read.

"Millennials come energized & ready to get out the vote!" her campaign urged.

But a video posted of the event by Waters’ campaign shows only a handful of millennials actually attended.

Waters used the event to allow attendees to gripe about what they think is wrong with America.

"When you come here you always have an open mic, you can say whatever you want to say," Waters said.

Moments later, Waters took the microphone back to address the small group.

The camera showed empty tables, likely intended to be filled with fans of the liberal darling.

"We're going to take back the House," she predicted to the group.

She said pro-Trump forces "think they're going to take me out."

She predicted, "I ain't goin'."

Waters spent quite a bit of time attacking her main rival, Republican Omar Navarro.

After criticizing Navarro for having Roger Stone, Joe Arpaio, and Michael Flynn appear on his behalf, Waters argued her opponent should have certain beliefs merely because of his last name.

"He has a last name that is Latin. He's Cuban and what a lot of our people don't understand is he supports the president building a wall. He's opposed to DACA, he does not support DACA, and in addition to that, he is not worried at all, has not said a word about what is happening at the border," Water said.
Geeez... racist much? Just because someone is of a certain background they all have to think the same? You just showed the plantation mentality you demoncrats have.

#7  Who wants to show up and be told you're the problem with the world (assuming you are white) or your life is over because of the man (assuming you are a person of color) and then told to donate.

#5  So then, who votes for and elects this delusional Trump-hating windbag?

Dead people, illegal aliens and fictional characters.

#4  'I ain't goin'. Heartwarming sentiment aside, it certainly does suggest an hysterical image of her showing up at her office and demanding to be referred to by her current title. Probably the next step for the Dems strategically.
