Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California said Saturday that President Donald Trump should be removed from office using the 25th Amendment.
During an MSNBC interview, Waters objected to Trump’s comments acknowledging that questions have been raised about whether Sen. Kamala Harris of California, the presumptive Democratic vice presidential candidate, might not meet the citizenship qualifications for president.
“I have no idea if that’s right,” Trump said Thursday, according to Fox News.
To Waters, those were fighting words.
“The president of the United States of America is unbelievably divisive. The president lies. He’s pitting people against each other, going back to the old birther argument that they attempted to use against Obama,” she said, referring to the controversy over whether former President Barack Obama was in fact a citizen and eligible for the presidency.
“This is a president that is the most deplorable human being that I have ever encountered in my life. And he’s undermining our democracy. We cannot take any more of this president,” said Waters, who has insisted Trump be impeached from the first moments of his presidency.
While attacking Trump, Waters said attacking someone is wrong when Trump does it.
“This president is not only attacking the person that was just appointed or selected by Biden to be his vice president, and he is not hesitant to do it. This man has no shame. The name-calling, he called her nasty, on and on and on. I don’t know how much more the American people can take,” she said.
Waters then said that issues related to whether the Postal Service can handle the volume of mail the upcoming election will generate and Trump’s comments opposing mass mail-in voting mean he should be removed from office.
“As a matter of fact, when you couple that with what he’s doing, undermining our democracy, tearing up our post office, I believe that it is time for Section 4 of Amendment 25 to be put in place and his cabinet should send to Nancy Pelosi, the speaker, as identified in the Constitution, that this man should be removed from office,” Waters said.
