House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters on Monday that Representative Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) has no reason to apologize for comments she made in Minnesota…
What a loud of BS!
Pelosi staunchly rejected the idea, saying that Waters’ comments were appropriate in the context they were used.
Yet, they tried to impeach (who was acquitted) for doing even less than that!
Add to this, by her inciting violence;
The judge in Derek Chauvin’s murder trial in the death of George Floyd criticized recent comments by Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., and said her words could be grounds for the defense to appeal a verdict.
Appeal a verdict?
Chauvin’s lawyer asked the judge to declare a mistrial over Waters’ comments, arguing that she had prejudiced the jury. Judge Peter Cahill denied the request, but said that Waters’ comments were “abhorrent” and that she may have handed the defense a lifeline anyway.
By having a threat of violence and rioting if a verdict on anything but GUILTY.
That is jury intimidation! And it goes against the neutrality of the court system!
“I’ll give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned,” Cahill said as arguments in the case concluded Monday and the jury began deliberations.
They fear of the jury being doxed if they give the “wrong” verdict, and then the case being “overturn”.
Conservatives saw her comments as an encouragement for more violence and rioting. Waters allies say Republicans are trying to distract from right-wing violence, like the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, by picking another fight with one of their go-to targets.
Oh, and we can say that Waters is using the Jan/6 incident to cover up ALL the violence of the left-wing.
“Maxine Waters is a complete disgrace to the United States and to South L.A.,” Collins said on Fox News Monday in an appearance likely to garner even more donations.
Collins called on Congress to remove Waters from office by invoking a clause in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution that disqualifies federal officeholders who have “engaged in insurrection.”
And at her advanced age (82) that would not amount to much to her, but it could mean a hell of a lot for the nation.
