California Democrat Maxine Waters has distanced herself from supporters who burned a US flag outside her office as they counter-protested a far-right militia group.

A few dozen supporters made a rebellious appearance outside the congresswoman's Los Angeles office on Thursday to counter the expected protest by the far-right Oath Keepers group.

The flag-burning incident occurred soon after the Oath Keepers group failed to show despite vowing that it would rally against the Waters.

Photos from the protest show a group stomping on the flag before circling around and cheering when it erupted into flames. The Democratic counter-protesters were heard chanting: 'This is not the American flag, this is their flag.'

Waters issued a lengthy statement on Saturday distancing herself from the flag-burning protesters, saying they were acting to further 'their own agenda' and that the incident 'overshadowed' her calls for peaceful protests....

Maxine railed about President Trump meeting with Putin, calling it treason.....She should be censured if not thrown out of office. She is a disgrace to Congress.

Yep. She’s dangerous and should be censured for reasons of public safety.

They were communists (if you read their flag/signs etc). Why would she distance herself from herself?

Must have had a bad wig day.

When you have a brain the size of a walnut, all that has to happen is for a filbert to walk by, and your mental capacity is exceeded. By a lot.

Why are groups like Oath Keepers constantly referred to in the media as “far-right” but no groups, including Maxine’s flag burning supporters, are ever referred to as far-left?

Because leftist are always disingenous. They know CO2 is not a pollutant. They know the Nazi’s were socialists with a twist. They know a fetus is a human baby. They know antifa are far left fascists without the twist. They know Oath Keepers are middle of the road. They lie.

Waters didn’t want violence in front of HER house.

She wanted it in front of the other guy’s house.

Maxine Waters is to the left as the Kims have been to China. Periodically, Dems need a nutcase to stir things up and they let her out of the box. Obviously, the polls said she had gone far enough with the flag burning stuff so she stepped back in.

Maxine Waters is not stupid. She’s a powerful multi-millionaire. She has a role to play on stage for the left and is elected in a district where she can do or say anything and keep getting elected. Kind of like the Kims.

Peaceful?

Isn't she the one who recently called for harassing Trump supporters where ever they were found?

Peaceful protests? When did she call for those? She can't even u-turn right. Another day in the life of an incompetent lying demagogue. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
