Rep. Maxine Waters claimed on MSNBC that former President Trump was instigating violence and suggested his supporters were “domestic terrorists' who should be investigated.
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., claimed former President Trump was instigating violence in the U.S. and suggested that his supporters were 'domestic terrorists' who should be investigated for possibly preparing for a 'civil war.' 'I'm worried that he's so divisive and that he's talking about retribution, and they're talking about revenge and I think that that's dangerous.
This is not good for this country,' Waters added, 'but he does not care about democracy, he does not care about the Constitution of the United States. He's in love with Putin and Russia and Kim Jong-un and North Korea.' 'It is not just that a criminal, this is a man who disrespects the Constitution and democracy and we have got to find out what they are doing as domestic terrorists tried to take over the government on Jan. 6,' she continued.
Waters has also been accused of violent rhetoric, having caused controversy in 2021 after telling protesters to 'get more confrontational' if ex-Minneapolis police Derek Chauvin was acquitted in the death of George Floyd. Chauvin was stabbed by an inmate in federal prison and seriously injured in 2023 after he was convicted for Floyd's death, which set off more violent protests across the country. Fox News' Lindsay Kornick, Adam Sabes and Ronn Blitzer contributed to this report.
