James Woods responds to Mad Maxine’s ‘If you’re gonna shoot me, you better shoot straight’ line

Mad Maxine Waters was caught on camera lecturing and berating National Guardsmen, telling them, “If you’re gonna shoot me, you better shoot straight.”

The video, shared by actor and conservative icon James Woods, shows the stark contrast between the stoic guardsmen and the yammering lawmaker doing her best Chicken Little impression. Her fearmongering rhetoric and attempted escalation fell on deaf ears as the men and women did their jobs without engaging.

The moment of insanity was not lost on X users, who had a lot to say about the performance Waters put on:

Performative gaslighting like every politician to try and be relevant.

She is not only the case for term limits but also we must minimize the influence of California by removing illegal aliens from the census and thereby reducing their number of US representatives and the electoral college.

You and I lived in LA during the Rodney King riots. They only ended when the National Guard was deployed. Many lives were lost and billions in property was destroyed before

So, just a guess, Waters has some 10 to 15, heavily armed, security gorillas and a lightly armored limo at the scene of this speech, lurking just off camera?
Do you think I’m close?
Maxine, James Brown called, he wants his hair back!
