GOPDD: Democrat Maxine Waters ‘I Don’t Trust Him,’ ‘I Don’t Believe Him,’ I Will Not Work With Trump

Dec 27, 2016 by Dylan

Monday on MSNBC while discussing if Democrats should try to find common ground and work with President-elect Donald Trump, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said, “I don’t trust him. I don’t believe him. I have no intentions sitting down with him. I am going to fight him every inch of the way.”
Waters said, “I tell you that’s been a problem in my party that when we are in power, we are nice. We bend over backwards to work with people. Trump has stepped on everybody. He has no respect for his own colleagues, let alone those on the opposite side of the aisle. He’s called names and lied and he’s done everything—he shows that he does not have good values and he cannot be trusted. Why should we work with someone that we cannot trust? He will tell you one thing today and another thing tomorrow. As a matter of fact those people who voted for him ought to be concerned about the fact that he’s already back-pedaled on some of the promises he made. So no, I have no intention of pretending everything is alright, we are going to work together. For me, as a ranking member of the Financial Services Committee, where he says he’s going to bring down Dodd Frank and he’s going to get rid of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am going to fight him every inch of the way.”
