RAN OUT OF TIME FOR HIS
QUESTIONING FORCING JIM CLYBURN
TO INTERVENE.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, MR. CHAIRMAN,
I DON’T WANT YOU TO ANSWER MY
QUESTION.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT DR.
FAUCI TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.
>> YOUR TIME HAS EXPIRED, SIR.
YOU NEED TO RESPECT THE CHAIR
AND SHUT YOUR MOUT.
>> JOINING ME NOW IS THE
CONGRESSWOMAN WHO NEVER HOLDS
ANYTHING BACK, MAXINE WATERS
FROM THE GREAT STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK TO
"THE SUNDAY SHOW."
>> I’M DELIGHTED TO BE WITH YOU.
I LOVE THE SHOW!
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> THANK YOU!
LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT HEARING.
WHY DID YOU TELL HIM TO SHUT UP?
>> WELL, LET ME SAY THIS, WE HAD
THE PRESIDENT’S CHIEF MEDICAL
ADVISOR BEFORE US AND AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC TO LEARN MORE.
HE HAD SO MUCH CREDIBILITY.
HE WAS BEING BULLIED AND THERE
WAS AN ATTEMPT TO BASICALLY SHUT
HIM DOWN BY CONGRESSWOMAN
JORDAN.
AND SO WE ONLY HAVE LIMITED
TIME.
WE ONLY HAVE FIVE MINUTES EACH.
AND HE DOES NOT RESPECT THE
CHAIR, HE DOES NOT RESPECT THE
OTHER MEMBERS, HE SPEAKS OVER
TIME, AND HE CONTINUES TO CARRY
A MESSAGE THAT THEY GET FROM THE
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS TO COME ON TO
TRY TO UNDERMINE US AND THIS
MESSAGE THAT HE WAS USING WAS
ALL ABOUT THE BORDER AND TRYING
TO MAKE IT SOUND AS IF WE WERE
BEING IRRESPONSIBLE AND THAT
SOMEHOW DR. FAUCI WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR BUSINESSES NOT
OPENING UP, ET. CETERA, ET. CETERA.
SO I SIMPLY TRIED TO, YOU KNOW,
INTERVENE.
TO TELL HIM WHAT NEEDED TO BE
SAID.
I KNOW THAT I’M DIFFERENT FROM A
LOT OF POLITICIANS AND I DO, YOU
KNOW, TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SAY WHAT I THINK NEEDS TO BE
SAID AT A PARTICULAR TIME.
THAT’S WHAT I DID.
>> RIGHT.
UH-HUH.
CONGRESSWOMAN, YOU MENTIONED THE
PHRASE "LIMITED TIME."
WE HAVE LIMITED TIME.
I WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE A LISTEN
TO WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY LAST
NIGHT IN MINNEAPOLIS, WHICH IS
WHERE YOU’RE COMING TO US FROM
NOW.
LET’S HAVE A LISTEN. >> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT
TIME.
YOUNG MEN, IN PARTICULAR BLACK
MEN.
WE HAVE TO PERSIST IN CALLING
FOR JUSTICE.
WE HAVE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WE’RE
NOT GOING TO BE SATISFIED UNLESS
WE GET JUST IS IN THESE CASES.
>> CONGRESSWOMAN, WHY WAS IT
IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO BE OR WHY
IS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO BE IN
MINNESOTA TODAY?
>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE
TO GIVE SUPPORT IT OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE.
WHO ARE STRUGGLING AND TRYING TO
MAKE THIS JUSTICE SYSTEM WORK
FOR EVERYBODY.
THEY SEE THEIR PEERS BEING
KILLED.
MINNEAPOLIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE
OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, WHAT IS
WRONG WITH POLICING.
SO FOR THOSE THAT HOLD
SIGNIFICANT POSITIONS MUST STAND
UP.
WE MUST SUPPORT THEM.
WE MUST SPEAK OUT.
WE MUST CALL FOR JUSTICE.
WE CANNOT LEAVE THEM ALONE TO
TRY TO FIGHT THIS VERY DIFFICULT
SYSTEM HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS WHERE
YOU HAVE NOT ONLY WHAT HAPPENED
TO GEORGE FLOYD AND THE FACT
THAT THE CLOSING REMARKS IN THE
CASE WILL BE MADE ON MONDAY, BUT
YOU HAVE, ALSO, THE FACT THAT
DAUNTE WRIGHT WAS KILLED, A
YOUNG 20-YEAR-OLD AND IT’S
OVERWHELMING.
I WANTED TO BE THERE KIND OF AS
AUNTY MAXINE.
IT SHOW THEM NOT ONLY DO I LOVE
THEM AND SUPPORT THEM BUT THEY
CAN COUNT ON ME TO BE WITH THEM
AT THIS TERRIBLE TIME IN ALL OF
OUR LIVES.
>> WE GOT LESS THAN 45 SECONDS
LEFT, I WANT TO PUT UP THE TWEET
YOU SENT OUT SPEAKING OF DAUNTE
WRIGHT WHERE YOU SENT OUT THE
TWEET THAT SAID "HOW CAN A
TRAINED OFFICER MAKE A MISTAKE
SHOOTING AN UNARMED MAN WITH A
GUN INSTEAD OF A TASER?
HARD TO BELIEVE."
>> ABSOLUTELY.
AND IT WENT VIRAL BECAUSE --
>> AND AS SOON AS CONGRESSWOMAN
SAID VIRAL, SHE FROZE!
BUT PEOPLE SAW IT.
YOU’VE GOT TO SEE THE TWEET SHE
SENT OUT HOLDING UP PICTURE OF A
GUN AND A -- PICTURE OF A TASER.
BRINGING TO LIGHT THE DISSIDENCE
OF A POLICE OFFICER SAYING THAT
SHE WAS GOING TO TASER HIM BUT
ACTUALLY HAD A GUN IN HER HAND.
THERE SHE IS.
CONGRESSWOMAN WATERS, YOU CAME
BACK TO SAY THANK YOU FOR COMING
