Just like I think we should have a higher standard to be one of a hundred Senators than one of 435 representatives all representing the 325 million people who live in the USA.
Neither was Donald Trump in the video. Those were before He was elected.

So are you saying that Maxine Waters gets a pass because she's not president? Wouldn't that mean that trump should get the same pass because he wasn't President at that time? I mean Waters is a Congresswoman saying those things, Trump was just a civilian.

Personally, i agree that they should ALL be held to a higher standard. And we have ourselves to blame because we attack the good and leave ourselves the crap to pick through.

Her remark wasn't smart but it doesn't even register on the Trump scale.

That is right, the vocal left is far out-crappifying the vocal right. If you listed to the radical left, Handmaiden's Tale is right around the corner if we don't die first because of a Travel Ban or Taxes or something or Stormy.

Wasn't smart? It was beyond stupid, made her sound just like Trump back in the rallies asking people to smack the #^&#^&#^&#^& out of a protester on the other side of the aisle. She should be publicly reprimanded.
