Maxine Waters Doubles Down on Unhinged Tweet: ‘He Should Be Punished’ [Video]

Watch as Maxine Waters doubles down on her unhinged tweet from earlier today, in which she claimed that President Trump should be punished for seeking the whistleblower’s identity:

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT:

MELBER: Congresswoman, I want to ask you about something you said. As we know, you speak your mind. Many people like that and many people disagree with you.

WATERS: That’s right.

MELBER: I want to read something you said today to get a fuller understanding.

WATERS: Okay.

MELBER: You said with regard to Donald Trump, he’s using mob language, he’s implying people should be killed for whistle-blowing. Impeachment is not good enough for Trump. He needs to be imprisoned and placed in solitary confinement, but for now impeachment is the imperative.

WATERS: That’s right.

MELBER: Are you speaking literally and do you have any concern you’re prejudging the house impeachment and Senate trial process by declaring he should be, I guess, convicted and held in solitary?

WATERS: No, not really. As you said, I said impeachment is the imperative. I did impress myself in ways to show how terrible I think he is and how he really should be punished. But of course impeachment is what we’re focused on right now.
