Maxine Waters actually said...

"The decimation of the CFPB hurts all Americans. We should all be concerned and quite frankly outraged."

"The NAACP is proud to support a number of pieces of legislation to rebuild the CFPB, most notably the bill which was introduced by you, Chairwoman Waters."

"I would caution you to refrain from identifying others or characterizing them in relationship to their political party or whether or not they are capitalists or socialists."

"We fear for the economic well-being of our families, neighborhoods, communities, and our nation because we were beginning to see the good that a strong CFPB can do."
