Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) took note of Martin Luther King Day Monday by tweeting that if civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was alive today he would “be marching not only for civil rights & protecting voting rights, but to urge Members of Congress to accept their responsibility to save the U.S. from a dangerous man who has no respect for our Constitution & no concern for strengthening our democracy.”
She claimed that Martin Luther King Jr. would’ve encouraged everyone “to march for the impeachment of Donald Trump.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would have encouraged every responsible human being to march for justice, to march for peace, and most of all, to march for the impeachment of Donald Trump. #ThankYouMLK50

“Donald Trump is a racist and indecent man with no good values who is woefully unfit and undeserving of the office in which he serves,” Waters said in a statement Friday.
Waters said Trump’s comments about the countries show that he is a “deeply flawed human being with no understand of public policy” and it underscores that the president is a “hopeless and ignorant bigot.”
In the lengthy statement, Waters accused Trump of surrounding himself with alt-right white nationalists. She named former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, policy adviser Stephen Miller, former adviser Sebastian Gorka, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions as examples. – READ MORE
