Pro-Trump Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is giving the Democrats a taste of their own medicine. After being stripped of committee assignments and facing calls to be expelled from Congress over calling for political violence Rep. Greene is introducing legislation to have Rep Maxine Waters expelled from Congress for attempting to incite political violence.
In a tweet, Rep. Greene asked if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would hold the radical Democrat to the same standard as former President Trump when she claimed he attempted to incite violence on Jan. 6th.
.@SpeakerPelosi you impeached President Trump after you said he incited violence by saying “march peacefully” to the Capitol.
So I can expect a yes vote from you on my resolution to expel @RepMaxineWaters for inciting violence, riots, and abusing power threatening a jury, right?

The Daily Wire reports:
“Very soon I’ll be introducing a resolution to expel Rep. Maxine Waters from Congress for her continual incitement of violence on innocent American people. Rep Waters is a danger to our society,” wrote Greene. “After traveling across state lines to incite riots, her orders recorded on video last night at the Brooklyn Center, directly led to more violence and a drive by shooting on National Guardsmen in Minnesota early this morning.”
The Republican lawmaker, a longtime supporter of former President Donald Trump, took aim at Waters for urging protesters at a demonstration in Brooklyn Center, Minn., on Saturday to be “more confrontational.” Two National Guardsman were injured early Sunday morning, the Minnesota National Guard said.
Greene also targeted Waters over her comments on the George Floyd trial.
“As a sitting United States Congresswoman Maxine Waters threatened a jury demanding a guilty verdict and threatened violence if Chauvin is found not guilty,” wrote Greene. “This is also an abuse of power.”
.@RepMaxineWaters you don’t live in Minnesota.
You crossed state lines and incited riots, violence against police, shootings at the MN NG, and threatened a jury as a sitting US Congresswoman.@SpeakerPelosi surely you will expel this criminal from Congress and uphold the law! pic.twitter.com/twH52VwFTP

Republicans have harshly criticized Waters for her past incendiary comments though he has received no backlash from her own party for her actions. Waters latest comment for protestors to get “more confrontational” after the country has faced violent riots over the past year has raised eyebrows with multiple Republican leaders.
House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy said in a statement, “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.”
