Maxine Waters To GOP: ‘Not Patriotic’ To Defend Trump Against Impeachment

On Sunday, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Republicans are not being patriotic by defending President Trump against impeachment over his phone call with the Ukraine. Speaking on MSNBC, Waters referred to Republican senators as “spineless” for not turning against President Trump, arguing that their lack of patriotism will harm the country.

“I am disgusted with those spineless members of the Senate who don’t have the guts to stand up for this country. Many of them have defined themselves as patriotic. They’re not patriotic. They are spineless and they’re not willing to step up and do what needs to be done in recognizing the danger of this president,” Waters said, as reported by Fox News. “They’re willing to harm our country, and so, I want all of the American population to understand who is in that Senate, what they’re doing, whether or not they want them to remain there if, in fact, they don’t come forward.”
