When Maxine Waters Called George H. W. Bush A "Racist"

The Looney Left Report

This week, as the memorial services for former President George H. W. Bush took place, the Democrats have been practically canonizing him. But that's only a ruse to dig at President Trump.

We should take a "stroll down Memory Lane" and that's what the American Spectator did. They have an article on when Rep. Maxine "Mad Max" Waters called George H. W. Bush a "racist".

They wrote:

"Rep. Waters Labels Bush ‘a Racist,’ Endorses Clinton.” 

That was the headline in the July 9, 1992 edition of the Los Angeles Times. “Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) Wednesday branded President Bush ‘a racist’ who has ‘polarized the races in this country,’” reported the article. “Waters said she has pledged to support Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign partly because the soon-to-be-Democratic nominee ‘is much better on the race question’ than Bush.” 

Waters blurted out that charge not after a few drinks at the Mayflower or a bad cup of coffee that put her in a disagreeable mood. She leveled it at the National Press Club during a two-hour panel discussion on African-American attitudes on politics. She said she wanted to say “very clearly that I believe George Bush is a racist. I believe he’s a racist for many, many reasons.” 

The Times reporter noted that Waters’ gem was met with “wide-eyed stares” from the audience. Still, she was undeterred, adding emphatically that Bush “is a mean-spirited man who has no care or concern about what happens to the African-American community in this country. I truly believe that.” 

I mention this now, obviously, because liberals are upholding the late George H. W. Bush as a paragon of decency and civility in politics and the presidency, which he indeed was. But in truth, they didn’t treat Bush with decency or civility, nor his son, George W. Bush, nor his predecessor, Ronald Reagan, nor Richard Nixon or any of a long line of Republicans. They have long engaged in vicious name-calling and character assaults toward Republican opponents.

Waters didn't need "a few drinks" or "a bad cup of coffee" to put her into a disagreeable mood. She's always disagreeable. She's a nasty person, right down to the bone 24/7.
