Assault Charges Filed Against Maxine Waters After Journalist Confrontation

Days after U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters appeared to endorse the harassment of Trump administration officials, one reporter announced she is pressing charges of assault against the California Democrat.

Pro-Trump investigative journalist Laura Loomer wrote a blog post this week describing how she “confronted” Waters over the controversial comments. Loomer included a video of the encounter, during which she now says she was assaulted three times.

“Today I filed a police report in Washington, D.C. to press charges against Congresswoman Maxine Waters for assaulting me,” she wrote on Tuesday in a subsequent blog post on Big League Politics.

She went on to offer her side of the account.

“When I confronted her regarding her call for targeted harassment of Trump administration officials, Ms. Waters assaulted me 3 times,” Loomer wrote. “She hit my hand to try to knock my phone out of my hand, and then she hit me in the face with her papers twice.”

She also described the incident in a followup video published on Tuesday.

“When I was confronting the congresswoman, she assaulted me three times,” Loomer said. “The first time, she swatted my hand with her hand to attempt to knock my phone out of my hand while I was recording her. … The congresswoman then hit me in the face with her papers two separate times and it was all caught on camera.”

There was a gorilla at the st louis zoo back in the 50s that did that. He would also leap into his pool to splash visitors.

Their battle cry is resist.

PROGRESS has been suggested for ours. How about also using, CALL THEM OUT?
