Democrat Maxine Waters: ‘She Did All The Right Things … In Terms Of How You Climb Up The Ladder’

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said during an interview this week that Vice President Kamala Harris did “all the right things” regarding her rise in the political world.

Waters made the remarks during an interview with MSNBC host Joy Reid. They discussed Harris’ new presidential campaign, which launched on Sunday after President Joe Biden announced that he was quitting his re-election bid.

“It is going to be tough. They’re gonna accuse her, they’re gonna call her names, they’re gonna do all kinds of things. But you know, she is not going to be intimidated,” Waters said. “She’s smart, she’s tough, she knows how it all works now. She’s worked at the White House, she’s the Vice President of the United States, and she’s smarter than Trump. And so, if they come after her, she’s gonna get them.”

While discussing Harris’s rise through California politics, Waters said Harris was a “determined person.”

“She had a good career because she concentrated and worked at having a good career,” Waters said. “And she moved right up the ladder into the Senate and into the Vice Presidency. Well, it was all because she is strong and she believed in herself. And she came from strong parents.”

“It was that kind of strength and that kind of courage and that kind of belief in self that I think defines her,” she continued. “And she did all the right things, for the most part, in terms of how you climb up the ladder. I don’t care what they say. She trained well, she went to school, she did well. All of those things that she was taught to do. And so, I think she’d be seen and understood as a woman who was always on a mission. She was accomplished. She succeeded.”
