Maxine Waters defenders gather to counter far-right protest that doesn’t happen: report
The Hill ^ | July 19, 2018

Posted on 07/19/2018 4:02:33 PM PDT by SMGFan

A far-right, anti-government group outraged over Rep. Maxine Waters' (D-Calif.) call for the public to confront Trump administration officials planned a protest outside her office on Thursday – but then never showed up.

The Oath Keepers called on members this week to show up outside the California Democrat's South Los Angeles office for a "protest against Maxine Waters’ incitement of terrorism, and a stand FOR ICE and the Border Patrol." But police at the protest site told the Los Angeles Times that the group had notified authorities that it no longer planned to hold the demonstration, in order to keep the peace.

By that point, though, dozens of counterprotesters had already arrived on the scene, despite the advice of Waters, who had warned supporters to steer clear of the area.

"The Oath Keepers have a history of engaging in violent and provocative behavior," she said in a statement. "The Oath Keepers would like nothing more than to inflame racial tensions and create an explosive conflict in our community."

They probably had jobs to go to, unlike Maxine’s rabble.

"Maxine Waters defenders gather to counter far-right protest that doesn’t happen"

I bet the first thing her defenders asked was if they would still get paid for showing up.

Give her the “Gaslight” treatment.
Keep warning her about threats that never happen, until
she looks paranoid. You have the added bonus that a large portion of Maxine’s followers are the type to riot, attack or destroy their immediate surroundings. In other words, they tend to soil their own nests, but still blame The Man.

It’s nothing but a pre-hoax attack.

If I recall correctly, The Oathkeepers are a pro-Christian men’s group that has been around for 20 years or so and have never before been described as extreme or violent.
Shame on you Maxine!

They just wanted an opportunity to lie about Oath Keepers.

I remember protestors not getting paid in Ferguson. They were not happy campers.

“...A far-right, anti-government group....”

Hahah!!! In other words, Patriotic Normal Americans.

She should be extraordinarily thankful we ARE still peaceful.

But then again, how could you expect logic out of a cinderblock with lips and a really bad James Brown comb-over?

“right wingers” are far smarter than to risk venturing into Mad Max’s hardcore drugs and crime-infested slum of a district

come to think of it, even Mad Maxine herself is afraid to spend much time in her district

she lives in a nice mansion OUTSIDE of “her” district, ha!
crazy, nuts, insane.. she is. STUPID..? not THAT stupid! ha ha

Maxine is the typical demented liberal Democrat using the same insane logic.

"The Oath Keepers have a history of engaging in violent and provocative behavior,"

Lie number 1.

"The Oath Keepers would like nothing more than to inflame racial tensions and create an explosive conflict in our community."

Lie number 2.

“A far-right, anti-government group”

Can a group whose stated mission is to protect and preserve the Constitution be an anti-government group? (Rhetorical question)

So how much is Soros paying per hour for this homeless Maxine Waters mob?

I like the idea of trolling the left with head-fake protests planned on social media.
