From Fox News: Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., called for the 25th Amendment to the Constitution to be used against President Donald Trump on Friday, suggesting he was unfit, during a discussion about his removal of Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors.
“It is time to call for Article [Amendment] 25 of the Constitution of the United States of America to determine his unfitness, to determine that something’s wrong with this president. And I would suggest that we move very aggressively to talk about the danger to this country and to our democracy and not play around with this, because this is absolutely one of the most destructive things that this president could do,” Waters said during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Weeknight.”
Trump removed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook on Monday, alleging she misrepresented mortgage information.
“This stands to basically upend the entire economy. This stands to really deal with what is going to happen on Wall Street, what’s going to happen with interest rates, what’s going to happen with the president of the United States being able to make decisions that he will personally benefit from. And so the world, and certainly the United States, should be watching this very closely. As far as I’m concerned, we have to move very aggressively. It is not about lingering and trying to think that maybe the courts will help us,” Waters said on MSNBC.
President Trump fired Cook aver allegation of mortgage fraud, and the found Democrats on the MSNBC panel raged in disapproval.
MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend claimed Trump is “targeting political foes with unproven mortgage fraud accusations,” and noted that, in addition to Cook, NY Attorney General Letitia James and Sen. Adam Schiff have also been hit with mortgage fraud allegations.
In fact, despite Sanders-Townsend claiming it’s unproven, copies of controversial paperwork by all three has been widely circulating on social media. But Democrats were cheering in approval when James accused Trump of mortgage fraud.
Waters raged against Trump, claiming his actions are “dangerous” and “this is the makings of a dictator who is trying to control the entire economy.”
Waters, 87, has held a seat in the U.S. Congress for 34 years, since January 1991.
Waters is being widely mocked on social media. Below are just some of the comments being posted:
Rochellemaryn: “Mentally unstable Maxine Waters goes on MSNBC and calls for Trump’s cabinet to invoke “Article 25” of the Constitution- claiming him mentally unfit. 😆🤣😂 Hilarious after Joe Biden— Lady you are off your damn rocker.”
Dr. PGurl: “There is no Article 25; It’s the 25th Amendment. But okay, let her invoke Article 25 😆.”
Western Lensman: “How has she not been investigated for corruption yet?”
Sapper2Zero: “Maxine claiming anyone is mentally unfit is the definition of hypocrisy.”
