Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) spoke to the Huffington Post on Thursday and fondly remembered the 1992 Los Angeles riots, insisting they were actually an "insurrection."
More than 50 people were killed during the riots, with thousands more injured and over $1 billion in property damage. But Waters told the Huffington Post that the L.A. riots were "a milestone in the history of black people demanding justice."
"These were people who had been basically forgotten," Waters said. "And because of Rodney King's beating and the current emotion that was stirring in that, it was like people were saying, ‘We're here. You can't do this to us. Look what you're doing, look how you've been.'"
"So it was a defining moment in this country and I think a defining moment in the way that black people resisted," she continued.
Waters' history of calling the riots an "insurrection" dates back to the riots themselves.

Maxine Waters on Los Angeles 1992 riots: “There were mothers who took this as an opportunity to take some milk, to take some bread, to take some shoes. Maybe they shouldn’t have done it, but the atmosphere was such that they did it. They are not crooks.”
What a class A bitch. I remember that riot. It was horrible.
Is she still around?
What a joke. Rated with an F by Numbers USA.
As an open borders advocate, she doesn’t seem to understand that she is hurting “her people” the most.
She has to be for open borders, her constituency has changed from blacks to illegals.

The buildings burned in the Watts riots are still NOT rebuilt.
Maxine Water - dimension at a biden magnitude...
They call it “Insurrection” ??? A “Coup Attempt” ?????
When the 250000 unarmed Trump Supporters stood around outside, and stayed for a few hours, and then went home ?
If it was an ‘Insurrection’ it would still be occupied by 1000s still. Sorry, No armed mob - a protest protected by THE FIRST AMENDMENT.

“Terrorism’ shrieked the demlefty media ...
A few dozen kranks who look to include anarchist/antifa-types easily break into the Capitol Building (during highest security of that place EVER - HOW ? Actually LET IN by the DC POLICE - Incredible NEGLIGENCE or Intentionally Contrived).
-
“Violence” ??? “Riot” ???
Some few Pushing some barricades ? So many just Standing around on the steps of the Capitol, which they just walked upto ??? ( labeled “Stormed” by demlefty media)
The demleft media glorified the antifa/anarchists doing continuous arson/looting/assaults/rioting, over the last year - and these propagandists label this recent Expression of THE PEOPLES FREE SPEECH as somehow being THE SAME as what that previous disgracefully allowed behavior of the left’s brownshirts ...
.
Sane America should have all the proof they need about who is working against THE PEOPLE - propagandists labeling themselves ‘journalists’ - TOOLS working against America.
.
Maxine, YOU WILL face Justice.
