Republicans Are Threatening Maxine Waters For Telling Black People To Stand Up For Their Rights

Mod: Who knows how to trigger the Goops better than Maxine Waters? 

Republicans Are Threatening Maxine Waters For Telling Black People To Stand Up For Their Rights (PoliticusUSAlink): House Republicans are threatening to take action against Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) after she told protesters to show people that they mean business.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tweeted, “Maxine Waters is inciting violence in Minneapolis— just as she has incited it in the past. If Speaker Pelosi doesn’t act against this dangerous rhetoric, I will bring action this week.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) of the failed white supremacist caucus called Rep. Waters the leader of the Black Lives Matter terror army, “@MaxineWaters is Commander of the BLM domestic terror army. A year of burning down cities, looting businesses, & murdering Americans like David Dorn. When you tell them to “stay in the streets,” how much “more confrontational” can it get, @RepMaxineWaters?”

Nancy Pelosi responded to the Republicans by essentially telling them to take a long walk off of a short cliff. 

House Republicans can’t do anything to Rep. Waters. They can introduce a resolution that will be immediately shot down. House Republicans are trying to deflect from the fact that they incited a violent attack on the Capitol by pushing Trump’s big lie.

There has not been a single act of violence attributed to the words of Rep. Waters over the weekend. Unlike McCarthy, Cawthorn, and Taylor Greene, Rep. Waters has not incited any violence.

Look beneath the rhetoric, and one can see that what Republicans are most upset about is Rep. Waters telling black people to fight for their rights. The 2020 election has Republicans terrified, as it showed that the GOP could no longer win by relying on racism and appealing to white voters only. House Republicans want to punish Maxine Waters because she told people to stand up and fight for their rights, and Republicans know that this is a battle that they are destined to lose.

Pelosi Tells Maxine Waters Not To Apologize For Telling Protesters To Get More Confrontational (PoliticusUSAlink): Speaker Pelosi told Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) not to apologize for encouraging protesters to get more confrontational to protect their civil rights

Rep. Waters has nothing to apologize for. When Republicans stop trying to deny African-Americans their civil rights, then they can ask for apologies. When cops stop killing African-Americans during traffic stops, then the nation can have a conversation about rhetoric. Maxine Waters wasn’t trying to encourage or incite violence. She is trying to get people to stand up and speak out against a life-and-death situation.

Speaker Pelosi, along with Democrats and people who care about civil rights and ending racism, all have Rep. Waters’s back. Maxine Waters spoke the truth. Oppressive power always wants the opposed to sit down, shut up, and not speak out. People are dying, and if that isn’t a good enough reason to get more confrontational, then nothing is. Pelosi gets it, and hell will freeze over before Maxine Waters apologizes.
