A shocking video that has now been revealed shows U.S. House Rep Maxine Waters (D-CA) buckling under pressure recently as homeless people pressed her during an event in Los Angeles.
In the video, someone in the crowd can be seen asking her about the possibility of getting Section 8 housing vouchers at the event they are at or another one.
“I want everybody to go home,” Waters said to which another woman responded, “We ain’t got no home, that’s why we’re here, what home we gonna go to?”
Waters then stressed, “Nothing is going to happen today.”
Later in the video, Waters is told by the founder of Kingdom Warriors Foundation, a local housing advocacy nonprofit that they had attempted to get meetings with her “for years” in regards to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA).
As the Los Angeles Times put it, jabbing her finger into the air, Waters said, “Excuse me, there’s nobody in Washington who works for their people any f— harder than I do. I don’t want to hear this. No, no, no.”
Waters also reportedly requested the story not be published by the Times and said that “It’s a bunch of rumors.”Here's the video of Maxine Waters telling a group of homeless people to "go home" to which somebody replies "we ain't got no home." pic.twitter.com/wHMHkBlvtt

“You’ll hurt yourself and the community trying to put this together without background. I don’t want you to start trying to write it, you won’t understand it,” Waters reportedly said.
Waters cut the call short after about five minutes, but told them that “people just showed up on Thursday,” that “they were confused” and that she had contacted LAHSA on Thursday, after the first of the three events.
