During yesterday's ridiculous debate about "denouncing socialism" and their dictators, Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) got trolled by Maxine Waters after she gave a succinct and correct answer to his questions.

“You can’t condemn socialism?” Reschenthaler said. “In your opening remarks, you were talking about Putin, Kim Jong Un and Xi. You know what they all have in common, right?”

“Trump,” Waters said.

“Trump?” Reschenthaler said. “North Korea, China and Russia?”

“He loves Kim Jong Un,” Waters said.

Reschenthaler kept trying to frame his questions so Waters would denounce oppressive regimes that have been denounced for decades by the Democratic Party, but he failed miserably.

“But Trump loves him. That’s your leader,” Waters replied.

Bringing up the killing fields of Cambodia didn't help him either.

“Don’t ask me silly questions,” Waters fired back. “I told you, I’m a capitalist. I’m not like Donald Trump. I’m not like Republicans who claim to support this democracy but at the same time refuse to condemn those who attempted to destroy this democracy."

"You need to talk to your leader, Donald Trump, about what he’s doing, about why he loves Putin so much, why he loves Kim Jong Un so much.”

Reschenthaler tried to turn the conversation towards Venezuela, and Waters bit him again.

"I want you to denounce Donald Trump. I want you to denounce the Proud Boys. I want you to denounce QAnon, and I want you to denounce the KKK," Waters said. "You do all that, and we can talk."

Maxine Waters wiped the floor with Rep. Reschenthaler and the entire Republican Party's idiocy on a topic that was a complete waste of time.
