Maxine Waters Is Acting Up Again On House Floor — "Don’t you dare talk to me like that"

The squabble happened during a House Financial Services committee meeting where Republican congressmen successfully overturned a piece of Obama-era legislation prohibiting automobile dealers from engaging in discriminatory practices. At one point in the meeting, pro-Trump Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) chastised Waters by saying this:

“We’re trying to make America great every day and every way and the best way to do that is to stop talking about discrimination and start talking about the nation. We’re coming together as a people in spite of what you say.”

Waters didn’t appreciate the remark, and when it seemed like she was about to address chairman Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), she said, “Mr. Kelly, please don’t leave, because I want you to know that I am more offended as an African-American woman than you will ever be.”
