Political analyst Angela Rye has remained steadfast in her support for Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) amid criticisms over the congresswoman’s comments urging resistance against President Donald Trump and his administration. Rye was determined to make an “illustrative point” at the 2018 Essence Music Fest in New Orleans this weekend when she instructed festival-goers to stand to their feet and share in her support of the longtime lawmaker, who’s been an outspoken critic of the president and his controversial policies.
