\u201cYou know what we\u2019ve got to do? We\u2019ve got to fight,\u201d Waters told the crowd. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to stand up and fight. You know, you have to make believers out of people. Sometimes, when you\u2019re being nice, and you\u2019re trying to negotiate and go along, they need to know that you\u2019re not going to sit at that table all day long. That you\u2019re not going to be begging forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to show them if they don\u2019t do what\u2019s right, you\u2019re going to make sure that they understand because you\u2019re coming at them. You\u2019re coming at them in ways they didn\u2019t understand,\u201d Waters told teachers. \u201cAnd as George McKenna said, \u2018I\u2019m not going to tell you what to do, you know what to do!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what to do! You know what to do!\u201d Waters chanted.<\/p>\n

The 79-year-old career politician acknowledged that the Los Angeles schools in her district are among the worst in the state, but diverted blame from teachers in the district to charter schools, DeVos, Trump, and anyone else who doesn\u2019t support her crusade to remove the president.<\/p>\n
