LOL, no they're not. She is speaking about protesting against police brutality, not overthrowing the friggin' federal government, like your main squeeze did after he lost the election.
You're stretching more than Gumby on this one.
Rep. Maxine Waters said people should be 'confrontational.' Words have multiple meanings. Confrontational can mean 'argumentative'. Look it up.
Good luck trying to make a case that she specifically called for violence. But of course that won't keep the right-wing media from losing their minds over it.
Having said that, she - and other elected officials - would be best served keeping her mouth shut about an ongoing court case. Just a dumb move on her part to come out and say anything, especially using inflammatory language that could be misconstrued and pounced on by her political opponents, as we've seen here.
You're so pathetic in your attempts to spin Tibs. It really is contemptible.
On the one hand, you WILL say Trump basically told his supporters to go overthrow the whole government and start a revolution because he said to go fight....something every leader ever has said over and over, including your own beloved Obama.
Yet...when a Congresswoman says
"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," you will say "those aren't calls for violence.
What happened after she said those things Tibs? Congresspeople were attacked in their yards and run off the roads by other vehicles. Coincidentally, we started seeing her mobs begin to harass and attack patrons in restaurants. We saw the Republican Congresspeople surrounded and harassed needing police protection in DC last year, countless numbers of them...as they took to the streets "pushing back on them."
Of course you will deny that these new events we've seen - Congresspeople being attacked, run off of roads, harassed in restaurants and in the streets - exactly what SHE called for...as being connected...because you spin for her because she's a Democrat.
Of course she's now coming out and trying to clarify her calls for "confrontation" given there are now formal motions demanding her removal from Congress, and you will accept her clarifications. But you won't ever, ever, ever, ever accept a Republican's attempts to clarify anything they have ever said. No, instead you call for heads to roll and engage in the strongest hyperbole and exasperations you can muster.
There is no spin, none whatsoever to telling a truly frenzied mob in the streets the following:
"We've got to stay on the street and we've got to get more active, we've got to get more confrontational. We've got to make sure that they know that we mean business."
She tells them to stay on the street (where a portion of them are being violent and destructive) then calls for "more confrontation."
She is inciting violence. And her words are far more dangerous than anything I can recall hearing from a US Government official in my lifetime when it comes to inciting violence. Twice now.
Mad Max has no business in her role any longer.
