Maxine Waters, the radical Democrat member of the Congressional Black Caucus, called President Trump's cabinet picks "A bunch of scumbags". That's right. From the same far-left wing of the Democrat party who called Trump supporters a basket of deplorables, comes this latest insult to Americans.
Consider the source though.
Maxine Waters thought Fidel Castro was a great guy.
A little over a week ago, she discussed Russian sanctions with a prank caller she thought was the leader of the Ukraine.
Two weeks ago Maxine Waters told reporters Russian leader Vladimir Putin invaded Korea.
Here's a shot of her private residence, located about ten miles by the crow's flight, but might as well be light years away from her district office in south central LA, one of the most poverty-plagued Congressional districts in the nation.

And from the first, from Citizens For Ethics:
Washington, D.C. – In the midst of a national financial catastrophe, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) used her position as a senior member of Congress and member of the House Financial Services Committee to prevail upon Treasury officials to meet with OneUnited Bank. She never disclosed that her husband held stock in the bank. This outrageous conduct has led Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) to include the congresswoman as one of the Most Corrupt Members of Congress.

“By contacting then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to request a meeting, allegedly for a group of minority-owned banks, but then arranging for only one bank – OneUnited, in which she had a financial interest – to attend, Rep. Waters violated House conflict of interest rules,” said CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan.
Around the same time Rep. Waters asked the Treasury Department to hold the initial meeting, Rep. Waters spoke to Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) about OneUnited, telling him that her husband previously had served on the board. Rep. Frank advised her to stay out of matters related to the bank. Nevertheless, Rep. Waters’ chief of staff and grandson, Mikael Moore, continued to actively assist OneUnited representatives in their quest to receive bailout funds, and worked to craft legislation authorizing Treasury to grant OneUnited’s request.
Rep. Waters was scheduled for an ethics trial on November 29, 2010, but the House Ethics Committee postponed the hearing. Inconsistent reports have emerged suggesting both potential new evidence and serious misconduct by two of the committee’s attorneys and improper conduct by committee members. In July 2011, the committee hired respected D.C attorney Billy Martin as outside counsel to investigate both the case against Rep. Waters and the committee itself.
