Trump’s threat to Maxine Waters

The President just issued a thinly veiled physical threat to a sitting member of Congress. pic.twitter.com/3A3W221GAa

Maxine Waters didn't call for violence against anyone but Greg Gianforte personally attacked a reporter for asking a straightforward question and was cheered on for it by many of the same people who are now claiming that she did.

Maxine Waters did not say something dumb like folks should use their Second Amendment rights to deal with you.

But you did that.

"White journalists condemning Waters refuses to confess that their whiteness inoculates them from his bigotry and that it compels them to prioritize the humanity of the abuser over the discomfort of the victims who face Trump’s abuse," @Russian_Starr https://t.co/DYMHfJ40bU

Just a thought: Maybe if the U.S. President hadn't called Nazis "very fine people" and his administration wasn't putting immigrant children in cages, then his appointees would be getting asked to leave restaurants and Maxine Waters wouldn't be calling for people to confront them.

.@thefix: Before Trump warned that Maxine Waters had ‘called for harm,’ he told supporters he’d like to punch a protester https://t.co/OlsF4QxnI6

All the times Trump was more explicit than Maxine Waters https://t.co/lipyrFWdxK

Maxine Waters is not sorry. "First of all I am very, very upset and concerned. I’ve had sleepless nights. Because I believe in peaceful, very peaceful protest. I have not called for the harm of anybody this President has lied again…This Don the Con man will say anything."

What? She said people should be screaming in the streets. That is not inciting violence nor is it calling for the harm of Trump supporters. If yelling at the opposition is harming people you are guilty at every rally you hold.

The only I.Q. you have is called an ignorant quotient. You hate smart women and especially, black ones, too. And lay off Twitter. Use their spell check. And try reading a book. https://t.co/HaFPeX7ZKu
