Rep. Maxine Waters of California warned her supporters not to be baited into a confrontation with a a far-right militia group planning a protest at her South-Central Los Angeles office Thursday.

The Oath Keepers, which claims 35,000 members who often dress in military gear and carry military-grade rifles at protests and events across the country, issued a “call to action” for Thursday to protest Waters’ “incitement of terrorism” and Democrats’ opposition to Republican immigration policies. Waters does not want counter-protesters to clash with the Oath Keepers and urged her supporters to stay away until they’re gone.

The Left using social media can rapidly deploy a masked flash mob. Yet they might want to be careful. They just might walk into a trap and lose their masks or wigs.

1. Maybe cooler heads do not want to see a violent clash.

2. Maybe the left doesn’t want anyone to see how their sissy boys are absolutely crushed in a violent clash.

I read this differently. I read her 'Warning Not To' as a direct Dog Whistle incitement.

Kike, "Oh, whatEVER you do, PLEASE don't start a fight that will benefit our side and allow the press to paint us as victims. That would just be AWFUL!"

You can bet your ass that Moldy Max won’t be there...like Obama, she just shouts orders from the balcony...never joins in the fight.

Recently she had half the police force escort her out of a meeting where the attendees shouted her down, and a protest was going on outside.

It’s obvious, but she’s all mouth. (just like Obama)

God bless the Oath Keepers for doing this. We won’t save America by sitting on the sofa and voting, but voting in this midterm is very, very important.

Her people are “supporters.” The Oath Keepers are “right-wing extremists” who dress in military clothing and carry scary weapons.

No bias here ...

From their website:

Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of current and formerly serving military, police, and first responders, who pledge to fulfill the oath all military and police take to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” That oath, mandated by Article VI of the Constitution itself, is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and Oath Keepers declare that they will not obey unconstitutional orders, such as orders to disarm the American people, to conduct warrantless searches, or to detain Americans as “enemy combatants” in violation of their ancient right to jury trial. See the Oath Keepers Declaration of Orders We Will Not Obey for details.

Oath Keepers reaches out to both current serving and veterans to remind them of their oaths, to teach them more about the Constitution they swore to defend, and to inspire them to defend it. See below for details on how we do that. Oath Keepers also includes a membership program designated as “Associate Members”, which consists of patriotic citizens who have not served in uniform but who serve now by supporting this mission with their Associate Membership and volunteer activities. Oath Keepers welcomes our Associate Members and appreciates their support of our mission.

Our motto is “Not on our watch!“

Yeah, her “warning” sounds more like CYA and turning the dogs loose to get their false flag event to rally around.

Really? How often does that happen?

The Oath Keepers are mostly very well trained veterans. Their name comes from their stating that they still adhere to their oath to protect the constitution and defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic. (Waters being a domestic enemy)

I have no idea if the Oath Keepers have a back story or not. Are they not what they present to be?
