President Joe Biden pushed for Democrat California Rep. Maxine Waters to run for the Senate and told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to 'keep it up' during a series of hot mic moments at a bill signing on Wednesday night.
'Senator, I hope. You think I'm kidding, I'm not,' Biden said Wednesday when speaking to Waters about her future during the appearance with Illinois Democratic Rep. Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia.
Waters, 82, seemed surprised and then shrugged her shoulders.
The Republican National Committee jumped on the comment and slammed Biden for suggesting he wanted the 'far-left, anti-police' Waters to go for the upper house.
Waters sparked outrage in April when she told protesters in Minneapolis to 'stay on the street', be 'more confrontational' and that she wanted a guilty verdict before the end of Derek Chauvin's trial.
The judge in the murder trial Peter Cahill said Waters' incendiary comments may have given Chauvin grounds for appeal that could have resulted in the 'whole trial being overturned'.
On Tuesday she said protests against police brutality and racial injustice are about battling a 'tradition' in law enforcement that has to be 'done away with'.
Biden also whispered to Pelosi 'hey, by the way, keep it up on —' before his mic dropped during the ceremony where he signed three bills.
The signings dismantled Trump policies blocking payday lenders from avoiding caps on interest rates, restricting climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas drilling and ending rules on how the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission settles claims.
The pair have clashed over how to pass Biden's $1.2trillion infrastructure bill and a possible reconciliation package that could lead to $6trillion in extra spending.
During the ceremony the president joked about wearing a mic while speaking to groups of lawmakers and said: 'I better be careful what I say.

Maxine Waters is as dumb as dog shit and crooked as a dog's hind leg. She does very well in her little corner of the world due to the Adam Clayton Powell effect. Were she to run on a state-wide platform her idiocy would catch up with her and people who wanted somebody who could walk and chew gum at the same time to represent them. Plus, her husband would lose his "in" with his wife as head of the banking committee.
She's a looker, ain't she?
