Democrat Representative Maxine Waters has made a reputation for herself over her incendiary comments and her latest tops the list. During an interview with MSNBC, Rep. Waters said that former President Trump should be charged with “premeditated murder” for his role in the Capitol riot last month.
Fox News reports:
“He absolutely should be charged with premeditated murder because of the lives that were lost for this invasion with his insurrection,” she told MSNBC. “For the President of the United States to sit and watch the invasion and the insurrection and not say a word because he knew he had absolutely initiated it – and as some of them said, ‘he invited us to come. We’re here at the invitation of the President of the United States.”
While arguing for Trump to be impeached last month, Waters, who was an outspoken critic during his entire presidency, said she believed he was capable of starting a “civil war.”
The Los Angeles-area congresswoman said she was locked in her office while rioters roamed through the Capitol and added that “Because I took on this president early, I called for his impeachment early, I have been threatened time and time again.”
Rep. Waters has faced fierce backlash over her previous remarks which seemed to encourage violence and harassment of conservatives and Trump supporters.
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up,” she told a California crowd. “And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere. We’ve got to get the children connected to their parents.”
