Maxine Waters (D-CA) reportedly told a group of homeless people in Los Angeles to \u201cgo home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As the LA Times reported earlier this week, the powerful lawmaker lectured a crowd of homeless people in South Los Angeles attempting to get Section 8 vouchers. Employees of the Los Angeles Housing Services Authority, as well as supporters of Fathers and Mothers Who Care \u2014 a nonprofit advocacy group \u2014 were overwhelmed as people flooded their event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2022-03-30\/l-a-s-homeless-crisis-pain-confusion-and-a-congressional-f-bomb-as-hundreds-seek-help\"><span>LA Times<\/span><\/a><span>, Waters drew ire when she suggested that the individuals return to their residences:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i><span>Waters told the gathering of mostly homeless people Friday that \u201cyou cannot get Section 8 vouchers here.\u201d And later, \u201cI want everybody to go home.\u201d The response was fast and angry, a voice from the crowd yelling, \u201cWe don\u2019t got no home, that\u2019s why we\u2019re here. What home we gonna go to?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Waters, who wore a powder blue pantsuit and had a black face mask pulled down below her chin, laughed and said, \u201cNothing is going to happen here today.\u201d Her remarks were captured in video of the event obtained by The Times.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Waters even dropped an expletive in reaction to the crowd\u2019s qualms:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i><span>Less than half a minute later, the congresswoman responded to a question from the founder of Kingdom Warriors Foundation, a local housing advocacy nonprofit. Jabbing her finger into the air, Waters said, \u201cExcuse me, there\u2019s nobody in Washington who works for their people any f\u2014 harder than I do. I don\u2019t want to hear this. No, no, no.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Waters then answered a plea that she work with the community to address the housing crisis: \u201cThat\u2019s what I do every day. The money that you got thus far came from me in Washington, D.C.\u201d She walked away moments later after telling the crowd, \u201cI will continue to work. I will get the information out to you.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>When contacted by the LA Times, Waters refused to answer specific questions and instead claimed that the story was \u201ca bunch of rumors.\u201d She then asked that the story not be published.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cYou\u2019ll hurt yourself and the community trying to put this together without background,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cI don\u2019t want you to start trying to write it, you won\u2019t understand it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In recent years, Waters has provoked criticism for making calls to increase political unrest. During last year\u2019s trial of Derek Chauvin \u2014 the police officer who killed George Floyd in the summer of 2020 \u2014 Waters <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/maxine-waters-responds-to-judge-who-slammed-her-for-calling-on-protesters-to-get-more-confrontational\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span> that \u201cprotesters\u201d were \u201clooking for a guilty verdict,\u201d and if they didn\u2019t get what they wanted, then \u201cwe cannot go away.\u201d When asked what \u201cprotesters\u201d should do if they do not get the verdict that they want, Waters responded that activists have \u201cgot to stay on the street,\u201d \u201cget more active,\u201d and \u201cget more confrontational.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In 2018, Waters <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2018\/06\/25\/politics\/maxine-waters-trump-officials\/index.html\"><span>encouraged<\/span><\/a><span> her supporters to harass Trump administration officials as they went about their lives in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cLet\u2019s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd,\u201d she told those at a rally in Los Angeles. \u201cAnd you push back on them.
