Three staffers working for embattled Rep. Maxine Waters
(D-Calif.) were asked by security officers to leave an
event in downtown Washington on Thursday after they tried
to display large campaign signs just as House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) was about to speak.
The aides were holding lawn signs that defended Waters from
the ethics charges she is facing in the House.
“Let’s fight for Maxine Waters,” read a headline on the
signs above a large picture of the congresswoman. Smaller
headings read: “No improper action. No benefit. No failure
to disclose. No one influenced. No case!”
Pelosi was appearing outside the Historical Society of
Washington, D.C., where she addressed an X Prize awards
ceremony honoring the winners of a contest to build a safe
car that gets at least 100 miles per gallon. The staffers
entered the outdoor area where Pelosi was scheduled to
speak and departed without incident when asked to leave
minutes later.
