#maxine waters
It’s Women’s History Month. Today Maxine Waters is reclaiming her time.
Born August 15, 1938 in St. Louis Missouri, she was elected to the U. S. House of Representatives for California’s 29th district in 1990. She soon defined herself as a firebrand when she interrupted a Republican speech in retaliation for what she considered overly harsh questioning of Hilary Clinton’s Chief of Staff. During a House Financial Committee meeting she repeatedly used the phrase, “reclaiming my time” when United States Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin attempted to waste time by not addressing her questions properly. Despite controversy and amid allegations of corruption she has been an outspoken critic of Donald Trump, George H. W. Bush and even Barack Obama. Her intolerance for bullshit is perhaps her greatest gift, she is Maxine Waters.
