Among her most corrupt acts as a federal legislator is steering millions of federal bailout dollars to her husband’s failing bank, OneUnited. Waters allocated $12 million to the Massachusetts bank in which she and her board member husband held shares. OneUnited subsequently got shut down by the government and American taxpayers got stiffed for the millions. Judicial Watch investigated the scandal and obtained documents from the U.S. Treasury related to the controversial bailout. The famously remiss House Ethics Committee, which is charged with investigating and punishing corrupt lawmakers like Waters, found that she committed no wrongdoing. The panel bought Waters’ absurd story that she allocated the money as part of her longtime work to promote opportunity for minority-owned businesses and lending in underserved communities even though her husband’s bank was located thousands of miles away from the south Los Angeles neighborhoods she represents in Congress.

I'd be willing to bet we'd lose about 90% of Congress and the Senate if they were ever actually investigated and held accountable.
And good riddance. We need to clear the lot of them out and start over.

I don't think highly of this woman, but why should I believe this meme? Why should any of us?

Because it represents a fundamental truth. Memes don't have to be literal. If you insist on that, you're missing the point. The fact is Maxine is a nutcase. Many of her followers are stupid. That's a problem with a representative democracy. Those with an IQ of 70 get to vote and count as much as someone with an IQ of 130.
