>> tucker: a couple weeks ago we asked the obvious question. how did maxine waters, democratic congresswoman, get so rich?d she has held elected office for pretty much continuously 40 years. she represents one of thect poorest districts in california. yet somehow she lives in ash $4.3 million mansion among them one of the rich is and widest -- whitest neighborhoods in l.a., which isn't even in her own district. we aren't alleging wrongdoing, but really, how did that happen? "the new york times" talked to waters recently, and here's how she responded to the show and our question. "i own several properties, the way he talked about it is, what right does an african american woman have to do well? he doesn't know anything about my investments, but the house that i've lived in for 25, 30 years. to say, how she could afford that is racist, and i dismiss it." on other words, we are bigots for asking the question. are you surprised? it doesn't look like she's lived in that house for 25 or 30 years. real estate records suggest she bought it 13 years ago and has spent an awful lot since to remodel it.
