Maxine Waters Dodges When Asked if 100 Years Old is Too Old to Serve in Congress (VIDEO)

Rep. Maxine Waters was recently asked by a reporter about old age and who is too old to serve in Congress.

When he gets specific and asks if 100 years old is too old to serve, Waters dodges by suggesting that individual members should be evaluated based on how effective they are. Waters herself is 87 years old.

When asked about Trump, Waters suddenly finds her energy. She stops, looks at the camera and rattles off a laundry list of false talking points about Trump that sound like they were lifted directly from the Occupy Democrats website.

Mediaite reported:

Jacob Wasserman, one of TMZ’s new on-the-ground producers in Washington, DC, caught up with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) on her way into the U.S. Capitol on Thursday and asked the 87-year-old if Congress needs age limits.

“Congresswoman, Jacob with TMZ. How are you?” Wasserman began.

“I’m fine,” replied Waters.

Wasserman continued, “Good to see you. I have a question. I want to ask you something as a whiny Gen Z-er myself. Some people in my generation look at our leaders and think, ‘You know what? Some of these people are too old.’ But as a spry 87-year-old, I just saw you talk at the Working Families press conference. What do you say to people in my generation who think, “Okay, some of these leaders are too old, and we need to do something about it?”

Waters replied, “I usually don’t do press conferences while I’m walking, but let me just say that the way people should think about elected officials is, ‘What do they do? What can you document? What can you give them credit for? What can you criticize them for?’ If you do what it takes to evaluate, then you can decide.”

“Understood, so we shouldn’t judge people based on their age, but rather on what they do for the people,” Wasserman pressed.

If Waters lives to be 100, she will probably still be clinging to her congressional seat. How else is she supposed to keep the grift going?
