BREAKING NEWS – Los Angeles, California – Rep. Maxine Waters reportedly warned a journalist not to report on a story regarding an event she attended near a homeless encampment in Los Angeles where tensions boiled over amid confusion over Section 8 housing vouchers.
According to a report from the New York Post, Waters was present at a chaotic event where hundreds of homeless people showed up due to inaccurate social media reports that Section 8 housing vouchers were being distributed.
At one point, when it was clear that staff at the event were being overwhelmed, Waters reportedly said to the crowd, “I want everybody to go home.”
“We don’t have a home!” many of them shouted.
“What do you mean you don’t have a home?” Waters yelled. “Did someone steal all the sidewalks, alleys, and storefronts?”
