Congresswoman Maxine Waters was accused of abusing her power by allegedly getting two air marshals to accompany her on a flight to Derek Chauvin’s trial.
Waters is said to have requested the marshals for a flight to Minnesota on April 17, despite allegedly already having two US Capitol Police and Secret Service members to protect her.
She and other lawmakers accused of requesting the marshals have been accused of potentially putting the US public in danger over claims those guards have been taken off other flights deemed potentially risky.
‘Federal Air Marshals were removed from a “High Risk” flight to cover Ms. Waters flight to Minnesota. The High Risk flight took off with no armed law enforcement on board leaving a gap in National Security.’

Apparently Maxine Waters is far from the only member of Congress abusing this service, claiming they are afraid after the so-called ‘riot’ on January 6. Some of these elected officials may have called for the abolishment of police to protect the public but they are always well protected by misusing tax payer supported services.
From Fox News:
“Placing FAMs on aircraft simply because a member of Congress requests it is an egregious misuse of government resources,” David Londo, president of the Air Marshal National Council, said in a complaint to the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General on April 20. “The FAMs are now taking agents off of regularly scheduled “high risk” flights to put them on flights with members of Congress, that in most cases have their own armed federal security details onboard already. It has become akin to a type of extremely expensive concierge service for Congressional members.”
Fox News is told members of Congress who want security should call the Capitol Hill Police, which calls a TSA liaison, who then calls or inputs the request in the air marshal’s mission operations computer. According to Hightower, “all flights were covered regardless of the VIP being on board.” Federal air marshals work in two-person teams.

These elitists call for the defunding of police or not letting the police arrest criminals and yet these clown politicians go around with security from the Capitol police or Federal Marshals. So Maxine Waters has Federal Marshals taken off flights, so she can be protected? So in other words, the Americans who fly and have these Federal Marshals taken off their flight, have no protection. This tells one what Maxine Waters thinks about the American people. I am Maxine Waters, I am an elitist, so I need to be protected with armed security, however the rest of the American people will not have any protection. Secondly, why would the Secret Service be protecting a member of Congress on a flight?
WHY not just tell her NO….. Buzz off!
That’s what i want to know. WHY SHOULDN’T the marshal services have told her to BUGGER OFF.
We ll bet her appearance at trail was to intimidate jurors. We all know how deadly it is to become involved with Rancid Waters. I think she probably has got antifa groupies ready and willing to do her bidding. People at the top of the group would carefully plant ideas in to morons heads. She thinks she is godly somehow chosen. And she is but her boss is not holy.
For years, i’ve felt that ALL THESE HACKS who demand WE the people can’t protect OURSELVES with arms, shouldn’t then, be allowed to BE PROTECTED BY THEIR OWN armed security.. PERIOD>
And that’s even IF THEY PAY For it themselves..
And for those who demand a ‘cancelling of the cops’, should get put on a 911 DO NOT Respond to calls from, black list.
Well, Maxi Dear, we have a little problem. You see, you’re Black and you are requesting police protection in addition to what you already had—and see, the police have this thing for Blacks. Anyway, they may have been defunded—let me circle back to you on that.
she’s black??
“A member of the Democratic Party, Waters is currently in her 15th term in the House. She is the most senior of the twelve black women currently serving in Congress, and she chaired the Congressional Black Caucus from 1997 to 1999.[1] She is the second most senior member of the California congressional delegation after Nancy Pelosi. She is currently the chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee.”
TO leftists, she is, so why shouldn’t we call her black too?
This was reported when it happened but was overshadowed by her attempt tho influence the jury with threats of continued violence if the ‘correct’ verdict was not submitted. While advocating the abolishment of police departments she now seeks protective measures for her safety from the very organization she thinks is racist meaning she fear the adoring crowds she enthusiastically stirs up to violence against others.
Black privilege !! Racist
SINCE She is not the potus, vp, or speaker of the house etc, WHY SHOULD She even GET secret service protection!?
Mad Max is nearly as dangerous to this country as Pelosi.
Is there no limits on how far politicians will go in order to abuse the power of their position? It is absolutely sickening to watch these blatant, in your face misuses of position. It seems much more prevalent in the democrats than in republicans but either way it is despicable. Waters had a total of four or five people guarding her as she traveled to that trial!?!? Who does this woman think she is, the queen of congress! These types of people have no business in our government because they are only interested in themselves!!!
>> Is there no limits on how far politicians will go in order to abuse the power of their position? <<
No limits, no.
TILL they start getting held to account, HELL NO.. THey will keep pushing and pushing the limit, on what abuses they can get away with.
Democrats seem to be good at abusing power. Nothing will be done about it. Democrats don’t care about anything but themselves.
And unfortunately, since they often GET AWAY WITH IT, time and time again, they will KEEP DOING IT, as they see no reason to NOT do so.
This woman seems to believe that she needs a lot of protection from the very people whom she has little respect for. Funny how that works.
Pity the guards assigned, could have told her to “Go sit and swivel!”
What we Legal, Patriotic American Citizens would like to see is MAD MAXINE WATERS being escorted by TWO FEDERAL MARSHALS to PRISON for her CRIMES…..Now that would really make sense and make MILLIONS of Fellow Legal, Patriotic American Citizens very HAPPY!
She’s afraid some of her own people may catch up to her. Whip people up into a violent frenzy and they’re dangerous to be around.
Again the American people are paying for this ****. This is one paranoid individual. Too be so afraid of the people who she has said she truly cares for and is supposed too have their best interest to heart is just amazing. She must have some serious doubt as to what she is actually doing. Why would anyone go somewhere that you feel your life is in such danger that you require 4-5 armed guards ? The hypocrisy is just screaming and the left ignores it.
This racist bi#1ch needs a red dot.
I don’t think the authors of this story, nor, for that matter, posters here, realize just how special a person Waters is. Find an idle hour or two, and ask her.
Umm … sarcasm.
Some folks are a little slow. LOL!
Question: Will they throw her in jail??? Or Fry her????
No, and no.
Ya, Maxine Walters, Nancy Pelosi are like Godesses, Do any one here think they’re equal to such personages as these two… Theirmor motto, ” Don’t do as we do, but do as we Say “
Wonder why she worries, not even a male dog would want anything to do with this female dog.
Both Waters and Pelosi are racist, too bad the race-baiters can’t see it. They appear to be immune to racist statements about themselves.
That’s cause they have the dem card, the woman card and in watter’s case, the race card they can play.
1. She had no business going to the trial at all.
2. She had no business getting taxpayer funded police and other law enforcement protection for a PERSONAL trip. There was no official reason for her to be in MN.
3. She ought to be brought up on charges for inciting violence and jury intimidation.
4. She has used her position of power to intimidate others and she ought to be held accountable for her actions.
I realize this will NEVER happen because of who she is and what color her skin is.
You’re not the only one who realizes it never will happen.
