Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., has been calling for President Donald Trump's impeachment for months, but now she wants him to be put in prison and placed in solitary confinement.
"I'm calling on the GOP to stop Trump's filthy talk of whistleblowers being spies & using mob language implying they should be killed," Waters, who chairs the Financial Services Committee, tweeted. "Impeachment is not good enough for Trump. He needs to be imprisoned & placed in solitary confinement. But for now, impeachment is the imperative."
This is not the first time Waters has said Trump should be put in prison, but she has not before made a call to lock him up all alone.
She also on Tuesday accused the president of "dog whistling" to his "white supremacists' to create fear because he knows he will be impeached.
In recent days, Trump and his surrogates have spoken out about a federal whistleblower, with the president tweeting it is the administration's right to "interview and learn everything" about the person and his or her sources of information.
Waters also lashed out on Twitter against Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, calling him the nation's "worst" law enforcement official and "Trump's puppet."
She followed up with a slam on Giuliani, saying it is "certainly past time" for his documents and more to be subpoenaed by House Committees, as was ordered Monday.
The lawmaker further accused Trump himself of corrupting the members of his own administration.
"The lies, coverups, shaking down foreign countries & undermining our democracy will be recorded as one of the worst periods in the history of our country, all led by a dishonorable con man," she tweeted.
