Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) mockingly said in a speech last weekend that she threatens Trump supporters all the time, defending her comments in June that said people should confront members of President Trump's administration.
Waters said she was not threatening Trump supporters or constituents when she called on people to confront Trump Cabinet members and supporters in June — and said Trump was wrong to accuse her of doing so at the time.
"I did not threaten [Trump] constituents and supporters. I do that all the time, but I didn't do that that time," Waters said to laughter from a crowd in Los Angeles.
Waters also said she was not advocating any violence against political opponents and sought to draw a distinction between her remarks and Trump's on that issue.
"What bothered me so much was, they tried to frame that as violence," Waters said. "That's not violence."
"The poster child for violence is the president of the United States. He's the one who threatens," she explained. "Don't forget at his rallies, when he said go ahead and beat them up, I'll take them out on a stretcher."
"I do not advocate violence," she said. "I do not believe you should hit, kick, shoot."
"We have to tell people the difference between violence and incivility and protesting," Waters added.
Waters earned attention and criticism for the remarks from June.
"I said, if you see them anywhere, if you see them in a restaurant, if you see them in a department store, even at a gasoline station, just tell them, you're not welcome here or anywhere," Waters recalled in the weekend remarks.
"Of course it frightened a lot of people," she added.
Maxine clearly needs a vigorous bitch-slap.
Again liberalism and color of skin get a pass.
I couldn’t imagine the outrage if a republican said the same.
Any republican using such language would be out of office.
Oh, but it is violence, Ms. Waters. You & yours get in my face in public with your threats? The instant you block my path you have a fight.
If it’s true that only the good die young then Mad Maxine will live to be 100 (unfortunately).
“”What bothered me so much was, they tried to frame that as violence,” Waters said.”
What an astonishing misunderstanding of how fights start. A black teenager friend of my neighbor’s kids was told by another black who owed him drug money to,”f@ck off.” The teenager, captain of the school basketball team, pulled a gun and killed the guy. His excuse was, “he dissed me. I had to kill him.” When I talked to the neighbor’s kids, who were fortunate not to be along at the time or they would all have had the same sentence, “Yes. He was dissed. He had no other choice.”
She is assuming that "Trump Cabinet member and supporters" are NOT "Trump supporters or constituents." She is too stupid to understand her own argument.
“I do that all the time...”
That either means we don’t care, or we’re not afraid of her at all, because we keep on supporting Trump, and ridiculing her every chance we get.
Mighty Maxx...blowhard of the year.
Whats her next order if they lost the mid terms burn baby burn?.
She threatens Trump supporters all the time...with her face!
Maxine looks just like Gollum from the cartoon version of the Hobbit.
