L.A.’s homelessness crisis boils over: Pain, confusion, anger and a congressional F-bomb
Hundreds of people line up in South L.A. after an erroneous rumor of housing vouchers, putting an emotional Rep. Maxine Waters on the defensive.

Waters told the gathering of mostly homeless people Friday that...“I want everybody to go home.”
The response was fast and angry, a voice from the crowd yelling, “We don’t got no home, that’s why we’re here. What home we gonna go to?”
Less than half a minute later, the congresswoman responded to a question from the founder of Kingdom Warriors Foundation, a local housing advocacy nonprofit. Jabbing her finger into the air, Waters said, “Excuse me, there’s nobody in Washington who works for their people any f— harder than I do. I don’t want to hear this. No, no, no.”
Political beliefs aside, this woman appears to be roughly as intelligent as a bag of hammers. I'm so incredibly thankful to have the best and brightest among us leading the country.
