Rep. Maxine Waters dismissed the concerns raised by a judge who criticized her encouraging protesters to get "confrontational" if former police officer Derek Chauvin is acquitted in the death of George Floyd. "The judge says my words don’t matter," the California Democrat repeatedly said, according to CNN's Manu Raju. When pressed on Judge Peter Cahill's observation that Waters's comments could be grounds for an appeal by the defense, Waters replied, "Oh, no, no, they didn’t."
