After acknowledging the children in the audience, the Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Congresswoman ripped into President Trump during a Sunday appearance at First AME Church in Los Angeles.
Wanting to address what people are reading on the "social internet," she said, "We never dreamed we’d have someone in the White House who was divisive
...politicians call things
divisivewhen when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never
divisive,they're

, who could not tell the truth, and who was intent on not making America great again, but taking America down."
She hammered Trump, telling the congregants, "I am in this fight."
Waters said there is "an attempt to intimidate, an attempt to frighten, an attempt to make you go away and shut up and be quiet.
"I don’t know shut up!" she said to thunderous cheers. "I don’t know intimidation. I don’t know fear."
She counseled her audience, "Don’t you worry about those who are threatening. Don’t you worry about those who are talking about they’re gonna shoot. I know some of you got a little worried when I said to them, ’If you’re gonna shoot me you better shoot straight.’
"There’s nothing like a maimed animal."
Waters told the audience about the difficulties of the "housing crisis" in America.
"Jesus! Lord!" on congregant exclaimed.
She said she’s pushed back on Democrats who have said to leave Trump alone.
"I’ve said that we can walk and chew gum at the same time," Waters said, and a church goer yelled, "Say it!"
