'I Ain't Scared': Maxine Waters Gives Candid Interview In Response To Bomb Threats

It's a scary time these past few days for Americans, as explosive devices have been sent to the homes and workplaces of many liberal figureheads. One House Rep, Maxine Waters (D-CA), is telling us exactly how she is responding to the threat on her and her colleagues' lives.


Ms. Waters, 80, was very concise and forthright in her response to these threats.


"I ain't scared."



With the mid-term elections coming up, Ms. Waters says she is sure that this is a scare tactic.

"They would like to intimidate us. Of course, we must be wise, we must not be foolish … but we should never stop the struggle and the fight for justice and equality in this country. I don't know whether the bombs are real or not, but we should not crawl under bed, close the doors, not go out, be afraid to go to rallies," Waters told Blavity. "We have to keep doing what we're doing in order to make this country right, that's what I intend to do."




Waters also said President Trump should "should take responsibility for the kind of violence that we are seeing." Trump has, in recent history, praised a politician for assaulting a reporter, and told his followers to "knock the crap" out of any Anti-Trump protestors.

"I think the president of the United States has been dog-whistling to his constituency, making them believe that their problems are caused by those people over there. And I think they are acting out what they believe the president wants them to do and the way he wants them to act," said Waters. "He in his own way does a lot to promote violence."




Explosive devices have been sent to over ten locations. TWO devices were sent to Joe Biden and Maxine Waters each.


"I don't know whether the bombs are real or not, but we should not crawl under the bed, close the doors, not go out, be afraid to go to rallies," she said.

"We have to keep to doing what we're doing in order to make this country right; that's what I intend to do, and as the young people say, 'I ain't scared.'"

Remember, if Maxine Waters ain't scared, you have to get out to the polls and VOTE.

Trump Proves He Doesn't Understand How Citizenship Works In Bonkers Interview

President-elect Donald Trump was criticized after he openly lied about birthright citizenship and showed he doesn't understand how it works in an interview with Meet the Press on Sunday.

Birthright citizenship is a legal concept that grants citizenship automatically at birth. It exists in two forms: ancestry-based citizenship and birthplace-based citizenship. The latter, known as jus soli, a Latin term meaning "right of the soil," grants citizenship based on the location of birth.

People Describe Their Medical Self-Diagnoses That Turned Out To Be Right

As a neutodivergent person, it's often difficult to get an accurate medical diagnosis from a doctor. It isn't their fault, though.

My brain is wired differently for sensory perception—something that's been understood about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) for decades. But it took longer—and much more research—to prove that also includes sensations like hunger and pain.
