Former New York City police detective Bo Dietl told Newsmax TV he is fed up with "illiterate moron" Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who called on Americans to harass members of the Trump Cabinet if they disagree with them.
Waters made the comments during a roadside speech over the weekend again during a television interview. A fired-up Dietl told Monday's "Newsmax Now" on Monday evening he has had enough.
"She's been doing it constantly, Maxine Waters, and she gets away with it," Dietl said. "Somebody's gotta grab her by her shirttails and say enough is enough. You've gotta represent yourself as a member of Congress. And you've gotta be respected. And if you want to be respected, you've gotta show respect to people.
"This is an illiterate moron, as far as I'm concerned. And I'll say it right to her face. She's a very lucky lady to be a congressperson in this great country. She should respect that office of being a congressperson in this country. . . . The Congress should censure her as far as what she's doing."

Dietl argued liberal Democrats have evolved into a much different group of people over the years.
"The liberal Democrats used to be [about] the good, peace, and love," he said. "Now all of a sudden they become the violent ones. Even at Trump fundraisers, they're the ones that become violent. What in the heck is going on?
"As far as Maxine Waters goes, just listen to her, and then you can understand exactly what her whole makeup is all about."
