Rep. Maxine Waters of California warned her supporters not to be baited into a confrontation with a a far-right militia group planning a protest at her South-Central Los Angeles office Thursday.

The Oath Keepers, which claims 35,000 members who often dress in military gear and carry military-grade rifles at protests and events across the country, issued a “call to action” for Thursday to protest Waters’ “incitement of terrorism” and Democrats’ opposition to Republican immigration policies. Waters does not want counter-protesters to clash with the Oath Keepers and urged her supporters to stay away until they’re gone.

Just when I thought she was a complete idiot, someone applies an electrical current to the one good brain cell she has and it speaks.

Maybe the left doesn’t want anyone to see how their sissy boys are absolutely crushed in a violent clash.


They might muss their beards.

Typical lefty, can dish it out but not take it.

I predict that the Oath Keepers will be legally asserting their First and Second Amendment rights, but someone will still get hassled and potentially arrested for something.

Auntie talks TOUGH until real opposition shows up, then tucks tail and RUNS!

In this case, the lying liar that lies is speaking opposite talk. She absolutely wants her supporters to confront the evil white people. She just doesn't want to get called out for instigating violence.

Her followers speak retard, so they will be there with masks on. At least Congresswoman Wighat hopes so.

It doesn’t. I’m a member and have never seen this at a protest, unless you count Veteran or Military t-shirts that anyone can purchase. I’ve also never seen anyone walking around with an AR slung across their shoulder.

So it's a slur then. I recall one (1) pro-gun rally where the marchers were armed, I don't think it was Oath Keepers.
I don't go to a lot of rallies, the few I've seen had a few people wearing camo but that's it.
Wonder if that's what counts as "military gear".

“The Oath Keepers, which claims 35,000 members who often dress in military gear and carry military-grade rifles at protests...”

I would think that if this has EVER happened, the MSM would have made a big deal about it, and would continually put it in the faces of their consumers every time Oath Keepers is mentioned.

If the author described them as “extremists”, or even quoted anybody using that word, it’s been updated out of the article by now.

Yes.
The script for her to read does not sound like her ghetto style.

The Left will soon say “Maxine was right. Now we have to shoot the KKK white male supremacist capitalists at their voter rallies in self-defense for the guys at the Maxine rally. No choice.”

The exact quote was “far-right militia group.”
