Maxine Waters supporters burn American flag outside California rep's office

Supporters of Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters reportedly burned and stomped on an American flag they snatched off a pickup truck Thursday, while chanting "Black power" outside her California office.

The demonstrators showed up with the intent of countering a planned protest from a far-right group.

That group, the Oath Keepers, had said they would rally against the congresswoman they call a "protest terrorist inciter" early Thursday afternoon, prompting counterprotesters to rally in support of Waters. But the Oath Keepers did not arrive, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Still, a few dozen pro-Waters counterprotesters, including union workers, church leaders, South Los Angeles residents and members of activist groups, gathered outside the office around midday.

Some demonstrators chanted, “Black power,” while other held signs that read, “Resist!”

She’s more than welcome to find a flag and country that suits her.

I just don’t understand people who leave a shithole, and then proceed to do the very things that made their homeland a shithole in the first place.

That crowd would probably bitch and moan about being mowed down in the street with a brand new Ma-Deuce.

I wonder if any of them are welfare recipients? Shirley someone relying on the government wouldnt burn the flag of the institution that is putting food in their mouths?

Insure proper head space and timing to attain maximum rate of fire.

How many more white Democrats in the Rust Belt, the south and elsewhere seeing this footage will abandon the party now?

Not that many I suspect. I have DemocRat in laws and they have so far proven themselves fully capable of rationalizing ANY repulsive, criminal, and hate filled perverted actions by Democrats.

All our side has to do is announce that we are having a protest somewhere (and not show up) and these knuckleheads will trip over themselves to show up and act stupid for the cameras. Winning!

I understand where you’re coming from. I’ve got relatives in Texas who think Trump is a Russian agent and a Putin puppet, but I think the tide is changing. There’s only so much of this leftist lunacy that common sense thinking people can take. Maybe I’m hopelessly optimistic, but I believe at the core most Americans do not want the excessive governance the Dems and many Republicans are peddling. Trump would not have won almost two years ago if we were a people who completely gave into being a nanny state! We are in a precarious state and the president is being SWAMPED on every side by the establishment. This is our last shot to preserve our nation. God forbid if the left ever gets back in power we can put a fork in this country. I continue to have faith that there are enough of us freedom loving Americans who will be able to reclaim this nation and preserve its greatness as we know it!

Just goes to show - some people are well-defined by the “N-word”.....
