Maxine Waters taunts armed agents after feds slam door on her during LA riots: 'You better shoot straight'

Rep. Maxine Waters had a federal building door slammed in her face during the L.A. migrant riots - and was caught on video taunting armed agents, asking if they planned to shoot her.

"Hello, hello, hello," Waters, D-Calif., called out as she saw the California National Guard approaching the door, to enter.

The last agent to enter turned to her and said, "Ma'am, our lobby is secure right now to all visitors." 

But that did not deter the 86-year-old 18-term Democrat.

"Excuse me, I need to get in," she said, as the agent told her to "contact our public affairs office," as he closed the door in her face.

"I just want to see David Huerta!" she called out.

Asked by nearby onlookers about the situation, Waters said she said Huerta was "targeted" but did not know why.

"I don't know whether they are going to deport him? I want to report back to my caucus what is happening," she said.

Waters also alluded to another viral clip she produced, which showed her taunting armed agents standing in formation in another part of the city.

"All people deserve to be treated with dignity and due process under the law: Peaceful, nonviolent demonstrations are critical to protecting our constitutional rights."

"The President of the United States is a cruel, dishonorable human being," she said, adding that he and others would "just as soon" like to see agents "shoot somebody down."

"But I don't want that to happen. I want the elected officials to do everything that we can to dissuade them," Waters later told reporters.

Addressing assembled reporters at another opportunity, Waters claimed Trump wants to have an excuse to enact martial law and "goad us into a fight."

In another clip, she is seen addressing more troops: "What are you going to do? You're going to shoot some kid?"

"You're gonna shoot an elected official? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight."
