Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) mockingly said in a speech last weekend that she threatens Trump supporters all the time, defending her comments in June that said people should confront members of President Trump's administration.
Waters said she was not threatening Trump supporters or constituents when she called on people to confront Trump Cabinet members and supporters in June — and said Trump was wrong to accuse her of doing so at the time.
"I did not threaten [Trump] constituents and supporters. I do that all the time, but I didn't do that that time," Waters said to laughter from a crowd in Los Angeles.
Waters also said she was not advocating any violence against political opponents and sought to draw a distinction between her remarks and Trump's on that issue.
"What bothered me so much was, they tried to frame that as violence," Waters said. "That's not violence."
"The poster child for violence is the president of the United States. He's the one who threatens," she explained. "Don't forget at his rallies, when he said go ahead and beat them up, I'll take them out on a stretcher."
"I do not advocate violence," she said. "I do not believe you should hit, kick, shoot."
"We have to tell people the difference between violence and incivility and protesting," Waters added.
Waters earned attention and criticism for the remarks from June.
"I said, if you see them anywhere, if you see them in a restaurant, if you see them in a department store, even at a gasoline station, just tell them, you're not welcome here or anywhere," Waters recalled in the weekend remarks.
"Of course it frightened a lot of people," she added.
“Don’t forget at his rallies, when he said go ahead and beat them up, I’ll take them out on a stretcher.”
How did I miss that one?
She is literally dangerously insane.
One person that needs a good hard slap back to reality. It’s not going to end well for her.
Her ugly mug is a threat.
Omar Navarro is running against her, he needs our support.
This is the same woman who instigated the riots that saw Reginald Denny laid out before national television.
These people are sick.
Dumb, Dumb, Dumb!!!
People need to stop with ‘threatening’ of her.
What bothers me is the “laughter from the crowd”! Must be on their way to be in the audience for The View.
The Press, no doubt.
Al & Jessie getting worried about their not getting media coverage. Out with the old and in with the new old
#3. I wanted to save this article about Mad Maxine but I forgot where I already had a file. I asked myself, “Is Maxine under Waters or where”?
I wish she was. However, it shows America just what insane fools they have elected to Congress. A few are actually catching on to this.
GTFO of this country, decrepit nasty bitch.
My first exposure to this bitch was during the Rodney King riots. She had nothing but the nicest of words for the rioters. Called them freedom fighters or something along those lines. And this was after video of Reginald Denny getting beaten to within an inch of his life had already surfaced. Payback’s coming for her in the form of jail time, is my guess. And it’s long overdue. Beware the storm Maxine.
Sick, no. Evil, yes.
When is the Congress going to overcome its cowardice and censure this biatch?
When is the Congress going to overcome its cowardice and censure this biatch?
Auntie Maxie needs to be in an institution and no where near Congress, she’s certifiable!
Vote Omar Navarro!
She is Threatening Trump Supporters or has she abandoned Black Lives Matters and Antifa?
No a chance in H_ll
