Maxine Waters Targets Melania Trump in Fiery Speech

[Social Media]

 

Rep. Maxine Waters made controversial remarks over the weekend, suggesting that former President Donald Trump should deport his wife, Melania Trump, while criticizing his administration’s stance on birthright citizenship. Her comments, made during a protest against the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) cost-cutting initiative in Los Angeles, quickly sparked debate.

During her speech, Waters attacked Trump’s efforts to challenge birthright citizenship, referencing Melania Trump’s immigration background. “When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he’s going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America, if he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania,” Waters said. “We don’t know whether or not her parents were documented. And maybe we better just take a look.”

 

 

Melania Trump, however, was born in Slovenia in 1970, making her ineligible for birthright citizenship under the U.S. Constitution. She moved to New York City in 1996 on a travel visa before securing an H1-B visa to work legally as a model. She later obtained U.S. citizenship in 2006 after marrying Donald Trump. Notably, she became the first naturalized U.S. citizen to serve as First Lady and the second foreign-born First Lady in American history, following Louisa Adams, the wife of John Quincy Adams, who was born in England.

 

Melania Trump also sponsored her parents’ citizenship, which they obtained in 2018. Her mother, Amalija Knavs, passed away in January 2024.

Waters’ remarks seemed to misunderstand the meaning of birthright citizenship, which is granted under the 14th Amendment to individuals born on U.S. soil. The amendment states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” This provision does not apply to Melania Trump, as she was born outside the U.S.

 

Trump and his supporters have argued that the original intent of the 14th Amendment was to grant citizenship to formerly enslaved individuals and should not apply to modern immigrants who enter the U.S. illegally. In January, Trump signed an executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, arguing that the policy has incentivized illegal immigration.

 

Waters, known for her strong opposition to Trump, continued her criticism, referencing tech billionaire Elon Musk. “We are here because we are not going to let Trump, we’re not going to let Elon Musk, his co-president, or anybody else take the United States Constitution down,” she declared to the crowd.

 

Waters has built a reputation as one of Trump’s fiercest critics, gaining national recognition for urging liberals to confront members of his administration during his first term. Her latest speech, however, drew scrutiny for its factual inaccuracies and personal attack on the former First Lady.

Good idea. Do it. Nobody is standing above the law. Except POTUS 

[bendejo]

Yes, the president has stated how he deplores the poisoned blood of foreigners destroying the US.  Bye-bye Melania, and Elon!

And then there was his first wife, who gave birth to three of his sires.  When all is said and done the only DT offspring left will be Tiffany.

Maxine Waters…does any rational person really take that looney serious? Of course not, along with K Harris, Tim Walz, Sandy Cortez and such who happen to represent a culture of utter abject contemptuous stupidity.

[KhunLA]

I guess that joke of a politician has seen her name in the press lately.  Those 5 minutes are over already, so go back to your hole.

 

You'd think she could think of something better to do with what little time she has left.  Must be sad being a has been for so long.

A message to Waters, try to engage brain before opening  mouth.

What gets me is that her ancestors were probably undocumented when they were brought over from Africa as slaves. Yet, she has the gall the comment about the Presidents wife? 

What a twisted world the Dems live in.

You are not being accurate with your comment, in fact its false!

His reference was to illegal aliens, or more euphemistically undocumented ones!

"deplores the poisoned blood of foreigners destroying the US"—doesn’t match any direct quote from Trump!!!

Finally!!!  Some sense coming into this discussion!!!!  😆

[Colki]

I did see an interview with Melania some years ago on tv where she was questioning the birth certificate of former President Obama an american born citizen. What a nasty piece she is as many also question the grounds on which she obtained the right to remain in the USA.
