President Trump predicted Tuesday that voters will reject Democrats in the midterm elections because of lawmakers like “Crazy” Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who called on people to harass Trump administration officials.
“Crazy Maxine Waters, said by some to be one of the most corrupt people in politics, is rapidly becoming, together with Nancy Pelosi, the FACE of the Democrat Party. Her ranting and raving, even referring to herself as a wounded animal, will make people flee the Democrats!” Trump wrote.

Waters faced backlash last month for encouraging her supporters to harass members of the Trump administration they see in public.
“Already you have members of your Cabinet that are being booed out of restaurants. We have protesters taking up at their house who are saying, ‘No peace, no sleep. No peace, no sleep,’” Waters said at a rally in Los Angeles.
“If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd,” she said. “And you push back on them. Tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere!”
Trump said antics like that, along with Democratic calls to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, would make it impossible for Democrats to succeed in the midterm elections.
How can the Democrats, who are weak on the Border and weak on Crime, do well in November. The people of our Country want and demand Safety and Security, while the Democrats are more interested in ripping apart and demeaning (and not properly funding) our great Law Enforcement!
