Maxine Waters: Fire-breathing Progressive Under Fire
August 2, 2010 1 Comment
U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (Democrat), who has long been a fighter for the inner city, is under scrutiny for business dealings with a bank that has ties to her husband.
Waters is the defacto senior African-American stateswoman in the U.S. Senate, where 11 other black women hold office.
She is currently embroiled in an ethics trial that could derail her storied career as a public servant. Here is video of some of her most scabbles in Congress.
Allegations center on a bank, OneUnited, where Waters’ husband was a board member from 2004 – 2008. Waters was very involved in the bank bailout of 2008 that save the fiscal economy. But did she do anything wrong?
