One of President Donald Trump’s fiercest critics on Capitol Hill will address the country just after next Tuesday’s State of the Union.

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.”

Trump has recently taken to highlighting how well he believes black Americans are doing under his presidency, tweeting earlier this month that he was “so happy” that black joblessness was plummeting. Earlier this month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said the rate had fallen below 7%, but analysts disagree over how much credit, if any, Trump deserves for that drop. Black lawmakers certainly don’t think he deserves that credit, and some plan to let him know that Tuesday by boycotting his speech.

3. Great on two fronts. We get to hear Ms. Maxine and it's great to see Angela Rye still

being active. She's one of those up and coming 30-somehting folks in the Dem party. Very smart. Lawyer type.

4. Well, I set to record 3 hours of BET because current

programming is still shown, but I'll probably be able to refine it later on.

5. Kick his fat ass up around his clownish head, Congresswoman Waters!

She's a great asset, for the US and Democracy.

6. Waters is a national treasure

She should be the one to lead the truth and reconciliation committee once trump is arrested and deposed.
It will be interesting to hear her give this address to a national audience.
