Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters became the target of a viral roasting following her notably awkward appearance on CNN after she experienced a visible struggle with her hairstyle that rapidly captured viewers’ attention. In the wake of the ridiculous incident, social media erupted, delivering a barrage of humorous commentary roasting her as viewers couldn’t resist commenting on her awkward struggle, capturing tons of attention from critics and amused observers.
Congresswoman Waters, known for her outspoken critiques of Republicans, took a break from the steaming heat of the DC Swamp to make a fool of herself during the CNN interview on July 9, 2024. The atrocious on-air mishap amplified ongoing debates about whether older Democrat politicians are adequately equipped to handle the demanding nature of public office.
The segment began with Congresswoman Waters seeming unusually distracted, frequently raising her hand to her head, appearing that she was simply brushing hair away from her face, but her attempts grew increasingly frantic and noticeable. The repeated adjustments escalated to comical levels, disrupting the flow of conversation, visibly flustering the CNN host, and leaving audiences bewildered and amused by the unexpected scene.
Her repeated efforts to control the unruly hairstyle created a comedic yet cringe-worthy spectacle. The situation reached peak awkwardness when Congresswoman Waters paused with her wig left totally messy, showing ridiculous top-sided bangs, appearing lost in thought, with her hand still entangled in her wig. The CNN host, visibly baffled by the unfolding fiasco, seemed to struggle to maintain composure.
The internet wasted no time capitalizing on the moment’s comedic potential; X quickly flooded with witty remarks and memes. One user hilariously commented, “She couldn’t stop messing with it. It was hilarious and sad at the same time. Does she also have dementia? The Democrat leadership is OLD. Are they all showing signs of dementia like poor Maxine?”
Another user took the viral moment poking fun at Congresswomen Waters to point out some of the real issues with the corrupt liberal congresswoman. Taking to X, they said, “Maxine Waters lives in a $4.6M dollar mansion, has a net worth of over $5.3M on a Govt salary of $174K a year, and paid her daughter $100K a year for (10) yrs Do you think Pam Bondi should look into how she managed this while representing one of the poorest dist in California”
Another user expressed frustration over the aging Democrat. In a post, they declared, “Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who has been in Congress for 33 years, is at the “Nobody Elected Elon” rally chanting “lock him up” as spit flies out of her mouth. She is 86 years old and in rapid cognitive decline. Do you think it’s time for her to retire?” Watch the bizarre viral CNN clip here:
