Lawyer Alan Dershowitz has accused Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of using tactics from the Ku Klux Klan "playbook" to "intimidate the jury" in the Derek Chauvin murder trial.

In a televised interview with Newsmax, Dershowitz likened Waters' actions to that of the KKK in the "1920s and 1930s."

"The Klan would march outside of courthouses and threaten all kinds of reprisals if the jury ever dared convict a white person or acquit a black person," he said.

Dershowitz said, "First of all, the judge should have granted the motion for a mistrial based on the efforts of Congresswoman Waters to influence the jury."

"Her message was clearly intended to get to the jury: 'If you will acquit or if you find the charge less than murder, we will burn down your buildings. We will burn down your businesses. We will attack you. We will do what happened to the witness - blood on their door,'" he said.

Dershowitz told Newsmax that Waters' "intimidation tactics" and the "threat of violence" should have resulted in a mistrial.

"The judge, of course, wouldn't grant a mistrial because then he'd be responsible for the riots that would ensue, even though it was Waters who was responsible," Dershowitz added.

First of all, the judge should have granted the motion for a mistrial based on the efforts of Congresswoman.

A mistrial may happen due to Maxine Waters propaganda stunt and I wouldn’t be surprised if she faced a law suit for interfering with the justice system.

The democrat party is the main cause of all the rioting going on it’s part of their plan vote for us or we riot.
