Maxine Waters to Give SOTU Response at BET

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-California) will give her own response to President Trump’s first State of the Union speech. The vocal (if not always coherent) critic of the President will deliver her speech on “Angela Rye’s State of the Union” on BET, according to Buzzfeed.

Rep. Maxine Waters, a California Democrat, will speak at the top of a BET News special after Trump delivers the State of the Union, a BET spokesperson told BuzzFeed News. The program, “Angela Rye’s State of the Union,” is part of a broader partnership announced just days ago between the network and the Democratic strategist and political commentator. Rye will executive produce news programs with a sharp focus on issues facing black Americans. The programs will run quarterly, BET said in a release.

The spokesperson said activists and some elected officials will analyze Trump’s first year in office on the program, and will talk about “building black politics and the value of engagement across today’s socio-political landscape.” A Democratic source familiar with the production on Friday night told BuzzFeed News that it wasn’t immediately clear if the program would air on Tuesday or Wednesday night.

 

Redstate will update the air time as information becomes available.
