Congressional sources close to Representative Maxine Waters say that she is livid about a live television interview with her political opponent that ended with a call for her impeachment in the House.
California congressional candidate Omar Navarro spoke to Fox and Friends on Thursday just hours after former Vice President Joe Biden entered the 2020 presidential race about the chances of various candidates, including his opponent Congresswoman Maxine Waters.
According to Navarro, Waters, who persistently pushes for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, is the one who should fear impeachment, thanks to her actions while in office.
Fox News reported that Navarro plans to take Waters district in the 2020 election and cites her constant advancement of the Russian collusion and other conspiracies narratives, as one of the reasons that Waters should be removed from office.
Navarro believes that his values more closely mirror the people of his district and that he will give the people something to rally behind, rather than the division that Waters brings.
Navarro said:
“You know when I walk around in my district and I talk to voters, I talk to different voters, talk to the Hispanic community, which is the largest community, 54 percent of my district, you have to look what are the demographics,” he said.
“When I look at the demographics, I talk to the voters knocking on doors, people want to see someone that’s going to unite them,” Navarro added.
“They are seeing Maxine Waters dividing them. They are tired of it. They had her over 30 years. She has been in public service for 40 years. It’s time for a change.
Time for someone that will bring back jobs, bring back stability and common sense into our district.”
When asked about the candidacy of Biden for the White House, Navarro said that he believes that the former Democratic vice president will attempt to run on identity politics and that it isn’t likely to work.
“That is the typical playbook of the Democrats. They use identity politics to divide people. They divide my community by using identity politics,” he said of Biden’s campaign launch.
“I was Latino growing up, my parents are from Mexico and Cuba. I noticed this growing up, I used to see Democrats from all over Los Angeles using identity politics at their best.”
“One thing I’ve seen from the Democratic Party, that they have been pushing a lot of people away from the Democratic Party,” he said, pointing to increasingly hotheaded rhetoric by others.
