GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry takes on 'Auntie Maxine' in Congress
WASHINGTON – Rep. Patrick McHenry has been representing western North Carolina in the U.S. House since he was 29 years old.
The 10th District Republican, now 43, has long been considered a rising star among House GOP lawmakers. He’s worked in leadership as Republicans’ chief deputy whip, and he’s often labeled as an aspiring Speaker of the House. He’s got a lifetime rating of 93 percent from the American Conservative Union.
Now, he’s got a new platform: adversary-in-chief to House Financial Services Chairwoman Maxine Waters.
McHenry is the ranking member on the powerful financial services panel, a coveted committee with jurisdiction over housing, banking, insurance and real estate.

Guess who I'm betting on! She's experienced, fearless and takes won't take anything from anyone! I wish we had 100 more just like her! 
Just another GOP dirtbag that is going to get his ass kicked. I wonder if Chairwoman Waters will be delegating the actual physical ass-kicking to Skittles? 
And she's 80! But she's just as tough and forthcoming as she ever was! I'd bet on her against anyone - and we know that she won't take any guff from Trump!
