Rep. Maxine Waters to Deliver State of the Union Response on BET

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43), Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee, will deliver a televised response to Donald Trump's State of the Union address, which will air on Wednesday, January 31 on BET at 10pm ET.

Congresswoman Waters' response is an exclusive for the BET News special, "Angela Rye's State of the Union," which will explore the first year of Donald Trump's presidency and its impact on communities of color, particularly African Americans.

"Donald Trump stood before the American people and delivered a speech filled with the same lies, reckless policies, and divisive rhetoric that the American people have, unfortunately, grown so accustomed to hearing from this president," said Congresswoman Waters. "My response will discuss the true state of our union after one year of the dangerous, unprincipled, and chaotic presidency of Donald Trump."
