Maxine Waters warns supporters not to counter-protest armed rallies against her

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) on Wednesday urged her supporters not to counter-rally against upcoming armed protests against her.

She said the Oath Keepers, a far-right association associated with militia movements, are planning several weeks of protests against her, which are slated to start on Thursday. The Southern Poverty Law Center has described the group as a "fiercely anti-government, militaristic group" who often stage heavily-armed protests. Some Waters supporters are reportedly planning counter-protests at the same time and place, but Waters said this would only "exacerbate" the tension.

"I am requesting those individuals and groups planning a counter-protest to not be baited into confronting the Oath Keepers with any demonstrations in opposition," Waters said, according to ABC News. "Such an occurrence would only exacerbate tensions and increase the potential for conflict."

Waters last month drew criticism for her calls to confront Trump administration officials in public, with several conservatives claiming her statement amounted to a call for violence.

"I have no sympathy for these people that are in this administration who know it is wrong, what they're doing, on so many fronts but they tend to not want to confront this president," Waters said at a Los Angeles rally in June.

“For these members of his Cabinet who remain and try to defend him ... The people are going to turn on them; they're going to protest," she added.

Waters later said she was calling for peaceful protest, but the Oath Keepers issued a "call to action" against Waters for her "incitement of terrorism."

"The Oath Keepers would like nothing more than to inflame racial tensions and create an explosive conflict in our community," Waters said.

She said police officers will stay close to her on Thursday "to ensure safety and security."

President Trump has repeatedly slammed Waters, who has long called for his impeachment. He frequently calls her the new leader of the Democratic party and refers to her as a "low-IQ individual."

Every time I see a headline with Maxine Waters’ name it it, I will always read it. I am never disappointed and always entertained.

She’s only saying this to cover her own ass. She wants antifa to show up.

Virtue signal much Mad Maxine?

What is it about leftists? They reliably say the opposite of what they mean and project onto others what they are doing. All part of their serious mental defect I guess.

“Billy was a Socialist from the Bronx. Though he’d drunk Soy Milk and ate Soy Cakes his whole life he looked like a man. Which is ironic considering that his birth name was Willliamina. He was thoroughly politically correct. So, imagining himself untouchable imagine his surprise when, while throwinging rocks at a collection of heavily armed Deplorables, Billy was exposed to the sight of a man with gun, had a panic attack and died from being excessively offended.”

I’m almost fascinated by this woman.

How someone could be such an extreme self-parody and have absolutely no apparent self-awareness about it is a genuine human curiosity.

“She is delusional” does not have to be in Breaking News. Let’s face it.

But I think somebody carefully wrote the words for her to carefully say and these words mean the Left is going to shortly say “See? We had to shoot some NASCAR hayseeds in the GOP candidate’s rally and it was in self-defense. Maxine was prophetic. We now have to kill conservatives instead of just confront them.”

Maxine usually says “They need be woke” etc. and not the white man’s proper English.

This is a setup.

Mad Maxine is nuts. Oath Keepers is simply a group of veterans and others who have sworn the oath (as she has) to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. They're not anti-government. Unlike Maxine, they take their oath seriously and support constitutional government.

I heard about it this morning and my first thought was “set up.”

Mad Maxi is crazier than Clintoon, Ocasio and Fauxcahantas combined.

Just dump several 5 gallon cans of gasoline around and hold up a sparker. The area would clear in a heartbeat. Oh well, not really... lolol.
