Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is comparing President Donald Trump to the infamous street gangs in Los Angeles, California.
On Thursday night, Waters appeared on Showtime’s “Desus & Mero.” During the episode, she discussed her career in politics and, of course, Trump.
The congresswoman didn’t mince words when she shared her opinion of the president. Waters compared Trump to the Blood and Crip gangs calling him a “street player” and accusing him of conning people in the past.
According to Waters, gang members have “more integrity.”
“This guy is a street player,” Waters said, adding, “He’s a guy that has conned folks. He has flirted with the gangsters.”

Waters added, “I have worked in some of the toughest communities. I’ve worked with gangs, I’ve worked with Crips, I’ve worked with Bloods. And there’s more integrity in many of these young people in the hood than this man has.”
“This is a flawed character, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” she said.
Waters’ latest comments follow her recent “mafia boss” remarks in response to Trump advocating for a reduced sentence for his former adviser, Roger Stone.
In the wake of Stone’s sentencing on Thursday, Waters posted a tweet accusing Trump of using Attorney General William Barr’s authority to “get his criminal friends out of jail.”
However, the Justice Department has confirmed that the decision to reduce Stone’s sentence from seven to three years was made without the influence of Trump.
