Rep. Maxine Waters delivered a fiery speech to delegates at the California Democratic State Convention this past weekend, calling House Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor "demons" whom she doesn't want to see "in our hall, on our screens."
"I saw pictures of Boehner and Cantor on our screens," the California Democrat said in remarks posted online. "Don't ever let me see again in life those Republicans in our hall, on our screens, talking about anything. These are demons."
Waters made the comments amid a charge to convention-goers to campaign hard during the 2012 election season.
She continued: "These are legislators who are destroying this country rather than bringing us together, creating jobs, making sure we have a good tax policy, bringing our jobs from back offshore, incentivizing those who keep the jobs here. They are bringing down this country, destroying this country because again they'd rather do whatever they can to destroy this president rather than for the good of this country."
Waters' office did not immediately respond to The Blaze's request for comment about her remarks, including her rhetoric calling Boehner and Cantor "demons."
