Well, you know if leftists are going off the rails, at some point 86-year-old Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) was going to factor into the story.
She showed up at the detention center at the Edward Roybal building in Los Angeles on Sunday, with some press in tow. She marched up to the entrance and said she was there to see the California SEIU President, David Huerta, who had been arrested on Friday for allegedly interfering with law enforcement.
But the response to her was just glorious.
Waters claimed they should let her in because she was a member of Congress. They said they weren't letting anyone in, that she needed to contact their public affairs office, and shut the door in her face, as she struggled to open it and failed.
What a perfect response.
The media then asked what sounded like a preplanned question: would she normally be able to get in as a Congressperson? She said yes. But normally, members of Congress give notice, and in the case of radical leftists trying to hurt ICE and other federal agents, these are not normal times.

But she wasn't done yet performing for the cameras. She went off the rails with some wild comments.
She said that she was sure that the National Guard that was there had been "given orders to shoot and kill," then said she didn't know.
Um, Maxine? They have guns to protect themselves and the citizens from the violent leftists. Maybe you should be encouraging the violent leftists to stop, rather than slandering the National Guard.
Then she said the illegal aliens should be considered for citizenship. She made a ridiculous claim that Trump was going to use the armed services to celebrate his birthday. No, they're celebrating the 250th birthday of the Army, which happens to be on Trump's birthday, but hey, why should facts matter to Waters; they never have in the past.
Then she said all the local officials should be on the street, standing against the ICE actions. That's insane, they would be obstructing federal law. She called for more "bodies on the street." "Absolutely!" she railed.
Waters also harassed a Guard who was there to protect the building. She's supposed to be supporting the federal government, not the criminals who are violently attacking it. I feel for these poor National Guard guys who had to listen to her.
Waters claimed that Trump was going to goad them into "martial law" and he wanted "civil war."
Again, she's the one using the terms. It's leftists getting violent. How about getting your own house in order? If California Democrats weren't such a ridiculous, feckless lot, you wouldn't have this violence.
She did this kind of thing before with the initial DOGE protests.
