Oh, the irony.
Rep. Maxine Waters recently released a big ol’ statement, denying that she or any of her staffers had anything to do with the leak of personal information of US senators.

“Lies, lies, and more despicable lies. I am utterly disgusted by the spread of the completely false, absurd, and dangerous lies and conspiracy theories that are being pedaled by ultra-right wing pundits, outlets, and websites who are promoting a fraudulent claim that a member of my staff was responsible for the release of the personal information of Members of the United States Senate on Wikipedia. This unfounded allegation is completely false and an absolute lie.
“The United States Capitol Police and our internal IT specialist have determined that the IP address in question does not belong to my office or anyone on my staff. The member of my staff – whose identity, personal information, and safety have been compromised as a result of these fraudulent and false allegations – was in no way responsible for the leak of this information. My office has alerted the appropriate authorities and law enforcement entities of these fraudulent claims. We will ensure that the perpetrators will be revealed, and that they will be held legally liable for all of their actions that are destructive and dangerous to any and all members of my staff.”
Huh. She’s maaaaaaaaaad. It’s almost like she doesn’t like being falsely accused of things or something. I don’t know about you guys, but this display of sheer anger and frustration is NOT becoming. It’s below the proper demeanor of a US representative. She should resign immediately. She clearly doesn’t have the proper temperament for this job.
Ari got her good.
This denial is angry. This suggests she doesn’t have the temperment to be a Member of Congress. When someone is accused of something they didn’t do, they must not be angry. They must not be defiant. They must not question the motives of the accuser. They must be calm and serene. https://t.co/IcMiozv5mk

Kathy Griffin came back with a brilliant rebuttal. And by brilliant, I mean LAAAAAAAAME.
