The overflow crowd at Busboys and Poets was black and white and shades in between, yuppies in chinos and activists in message T-shirts, bubbling with excitement to hear from the special guest at the restaurants open mic night.
Instead of a poet or a musician, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) stepped onto the stage, showered with applause and cheers. Not many members of Congress could draw this kind of crowd diverse and yet united behind a single goal. After taking a moment to thank the crowd for its greeting, Waters got right to the point.
Donald Trump is someone that found his way to the presidency of the United States of America I still dont know how, she said, drawing boos at the mention of the presidents name. But hes someone that Im committed to getting impeached!
The crowd exploded.
Hes a liar! Hes a cheat! Hes a con man! she said, each declaration punctuated by cheers. Weve got to stop his ass!
