This might be the most awkward 10-12 seconds of television you'll ever see.

One of our favorite congresspersons, Auntie Maxine Waters, was at a press conference held by Nancy Pelosi and the look on her face is that of someone who has just glimpsed upon the face of death.

Same vibes:

She looks like she has been completely entranced by her dark master and is receiving instructions from another dimension before she blinks and snaps out of it.

There's something just uber-creepy about that vacant stare!
