Good ole Me Ma Max got deep into a reporter’s shit and told them they should back away from a story about her and her constituents. It seems that Maxine attempted to leverage an event to her advantage (I think this is called ‘Gorilla Marketing’) at a homeless encampment in Los Angeles.
The New York Post reported she was present and when the crowd became unruly, Waters reportedly told them, “I want everybody to go home.”
Telling a large group of homeless folk that they need to go home is not the kind of thing that soothes the savage breast. “We don’t got no home, that’s why we’re here!” member of the crowd shouted. “What home we gonna go to?”
Waters then grew frustrated and said, “Excuse me, there’s nobody in Washington who works for their people any fucking harder than I do. I don’t want to hear this. No, no, no.”
Smelling a story, a Los Angeles Times reporter thought it a good idea to contact Waters: Nope, bad idea. Here is what Water told him :
“You’ll hurt yourself and the community trying to put this together without background,” “I don’t want you to start trying to write it, you won’t understand it.”
The reporter (Conner Sheets) must have had one of those ‘deer in the headlights’ moments as we’ve not heard a peep from him on the topic since.
Good ole Mad Max, never a dull moment.
