MTV should find better role models than Maxine Waters

Though she’s no Hollywood celebrity, California congresswoman Maxine Waters was greeted with raucous applause after taking the stage to present at the MTV Movie Awards Sunday night.

Waters, a Democrat who represents parts of Los Angeles, has earned viral acclaim for her frequent denunciations of President Trump in recent months. Known as Auntie Maxine on social media, outlets from CNN to Elle have highlighted her growing appeal with progressive millennials.
