Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters has unceasingly called for President Trump’s impeachment — “on a near-daily basis for almost three years” the Western Journal reports — but in a Twitter rant on Tuesday the California Democrat raised the bar.

In the tirade, Waters said she wants President Trump to suffer from more than a potential impeachment trial or conviction, she wants him locked away in solitary confinement.

“Trump & his sycophants tried to cover up the transcripts [regarding] his phone call to Ukraine’s president by hiding the info on a server reserved for highly classified info. It didn’t work. They’ve been caught red-handed. Not just thinking about impeachment, impeachment is on the way,” Waters began her social media rant.

The congresswoman said Trump’s unremitting defense against impeachment or against any claims of wrongdoing were attempts at “dog-whistling to his white supremacists to create fear & intimidation.”

“Trump is so irresponsible & so hungry for power & control, he would dare imply that a civil war will ensue if he’s impeached. He is dog-whistling to his white supremacists to create fear & intimidation b/c he knows he is going to be impeached. He knows he deserves impeachment,” she continued.

“I’m calling on the GOP to stop Trump’s filthy talk of whistleblowers being spies & using mob language implying they should be killed,” Waters said before pushing for an extra penalty. “Impeachment is not good enough for Trump. He needs to be imprisoned & placed in solitary confinement. But for now, impeachment is the imperative.”

Her rant then pivoted to Attorney General William Barr, who she called “the worst” and “Trump’s puppet.”

“AG Barr is the highest law enforcement officer & the worst. He’s supposed to be the people’s lawyer, but he’s just Trump’s puppet,” the Democrat contended. “He’s been caught soliciting foreign countries’ help in undermining his FBI & our Intel agencies. He should be Trump’s companion w/impeachment.”

Waters also directed her attention to Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.

“It’s certainly past time for Giuliani’s docs/texts to have been subpoenaed by our committees. His brazen lies, outrageous distortions, & attempts to do anything Trump wants him to do have got to be stopped. His unintended revelations will help us solidify Trump’s impeachment,” the congresswoman said.

She then described Trump’s time in the White House as “the worst periods in the history of our country.”

“Trump has corrupted so many members of his admin. The lies, coverups, shaking down foreign countries & undermining our democracy will be recorded as one of the worst periods in the history of our country, all led by a dishonorable con man. Follow the facts, impeachment on the way,” she tweeted.

Waters also name-dropped Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

“The more we learn, the more flabbergasted we are. Can you believe Pompeo was on the call w/ Trump when he was shaking down Ukraine’s pres & attempting to find dirt on Biden?” the California Democrat asked. “Was Pompeo also involved in hiding transcripts on a classified server? Impeachment will uncover the truth.”

It should be noted that Trump continues to deny all charges of wrongdoing, attesting for his innocence and that of his administration officials. Waters is also from the more extreme side of Democrats pushing impeachment and has been doing so since Trump was first inaugurated.
