GOP lawmaker fumes after Maxine Waters turns the tables on him at House hearing
https://www.rawstory.com/maxine-waters-socialism-hearing/
The House of Representatives Rules Committee hearing denouncing socialism was turned upside down when longtime Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA), repurposed a line of questions from Representative Nick Langworthy (R-NY) about the prevalence and adoption of socialism in the United States.
"We will not have a cradle to grave dependency," Langworthy said in the hearing. "This country will not be all things to all people. We cannot create an expectation that government is all things to all people."
Langworthy then turned his questioning to Waters, who was testifying as a witness in the hearing.
"Do you agree with Donald Trump's statement in the 2019 State of the Union that America will never be a socialist country," Langworthy asked Waters.
Waters then took control of the dialogue, first referencing the high level of debt spending that occurred during the Trump administration then questioning the validity of Langworthy and the Republican party's stance against socialism. Waters also spoke on the "Democratic spending myth."
"There are industries [Republicans] support, and now you think they are ripping people off," said Waters.
