Auntie Maxine: California should have the lead over primary process onnaconna our rich donors

Money should buy influence, according to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), especially when it comes to the Democratic primary process because her state has so many rich donors.

"We have candidates who fly out to Los Angeles from everywhere to raise money," Waters said Thursday on CNBC, to which AOC replied on Instagram: "Candidates can't fly. Only birds and planes can fly, oh, and some insects like flies can fly. Maybe that's actually where the word "fly" comes from, the common house fly."

Waters continued: "You would have two, three, four at a time in Beverly Hills having dinners and some of our contributors, who are very rich, were holding fancy parties, trying to accommodate the requests for donations and contributions."

"The thinking is that if we are supplying tremendous dollars to candidates, we ought to have more say," she added. By 'we' she was referring to herself and her state.

CNBC anchor Kelly Evans mentioned the California governor's decision to move up the date of the state's primary from June to Super Tuesday in March.

"How do you think that will affect who becomes the nominee in your party this time around and in the future?" she asked Waters.

Waters said that popular sentiment has turned against Iowa and New Hampshire's status as the first two primary states.

"A lot of people have come to the conclusion that it should not simply be Iowa and New Hampshire, that certainly they are not reflective of the makeup of this country," Waters said. "And so, California has a role to play. Impeach Forty-Five! Impeach Forty-Five!"
