In an absolutely hilarious moment on CNN, California Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters wouldn’t stop messing with her wig while speaking about former President Donald Trump, repeatedly and constantly fidgeting with it on live TV. Her wig malfunction came as CNN’s Abby Phillip asked her about how Democrats plan to defeat Trump in November.
Phillip’s question comes as more and more on the left, including the left’s media complex like CNN, grow disillusioned with President Joe Biden as a leader and a candidate due to his cognitive issues. Those issues were put on full display during his disastrous debate with former President Trump on June 27, a debate hosted by CNN.
Philip asked, “They’ve seen President Biden, they’ve lived through his presidency, they’ve seen former President Trump, they’ve lived through his presidency, they’ve heard these arguments about democracy, about the fate of the election, and yet Trump is not only winning, but winning increasingly by a larger margin.”
She continued, asking what Democrats plan to do next and if they plan on making a major change to their plans given Trump’s strong strategy. She asked, “So what is the plan among Democrats to change that trajectory? It sounds like you’re talking about and saying all the same things, but do you think something needs to change?”
Waters, instead of just sitting still, acting like a normal person, and calmly listening to and then answering Phillip’s question, instead fidgeted with her wig for nearly half a minute, a full 26 seconds, while on the camera. “I think we need to keep working,” Waters finally responded after messing with her wig while Phillip asked the lengthy question.
Watch that here:
Glenn Beck’s The Blaze tweeted about the incident, saying, “Maxine Waters has a serious hair malfunction on CNN while being grilled about Biden’s fitness for office 😂” A commenter added, “These people “lead” the country. Scary.” Joining in on the fun, another joked, “That critter on her head woke up and started moving I guess.”
Another commenter argued that America deserves a better sort of leadership than whatever Rep. Waters is, saying, “And she makes decisions on behave of the American people lol, seriously !!!!! We the people better start taking elections seriously and get and stay involved in our elections as to who we are in fact voting for , you agree ?”
Another person on X, posting a clip of the video, joked, “Maxine Waters adjusting her wig live on air is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time 😂😂☠️. Get that shit right before you go on air next time.” Similarly, another wrote, “If only Maxine Waters paid as much attention to the source of Sam Bankman-Fried’s money as she does her wig.”
Even Trump-hating Bill Mitchell chimed in, saying, “Maxine Waters had a major hair malfunction on CNN. She couldn’t stop messing with it. It was hilarious and sad at the same time. Does she also have dementia? The Democrat leadership is OLD. Are they all showing signs of dementia like poor Maxine?”
