House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said today he would seek to censure Rep. Maxine Waters

[IcyPeas]

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced Monday he would seek to censure Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) for what he said were her “dangerous comments” inciting protesters to “get more confrontational.”

“This weekend in Minnesota, Maxine Waters broke the law by violating curfew, and then incited violence,” McCarthy said in a statement to Breitbart News. “Increased unrest has already led to violence against law enforcement and her comments intentionally poured fuel on the fire. We’ve heard this type of violent rhetoric from Waters before, and the United States Congress must clearly and without reservation reprimand this behavior before more people get hurt. But Speaker Pelosi is ignoring Waters’ behavior. That’s why I am introducing a resolution to censure Rep. Waters for these dangerous comments, and I hope that all my colleagues — both Republican and Democrat — will stand up for peace on America’s streets.”

They think they represent and they do not.

3. I KNOW! I let people know I may be older and white and Southern but by fuck I am NOT a GD Repube

And when I go to France, when people ask if I am English (I learned that my French has a British accent??) I always say 'Non, États Unis, mais je n'ai pas voté pour Trump."

About the sex trafficker and insurrectionists in his own Party.

6. Exactly! Those 2 along with margarine are the ones that need censoring

7. Mess with Maxine at your peril.

They really are freakin' stupid.

8. McCarthy has a leg to stand on

The jury should have been sequestered from the start. That’s on the judge. Waters should have held back. It only takes only one juror for a hung jury. Or, if the judge questions the jury if they were effected by Maxine they can be replaced. If that happens too many times a jury of less than twelve can’t find anybody guilty. That would be on Waters. This may end up in the Supreme Court as a result.

9. Wow, wait 'till he hears about January 6th!

I bet he'll...oh, never mind...that was OK because violence from right wing white people is OK.

10. OH and that's not going to happen

not a chance!

11. For what, taking a stand against racism?

[spanone]

12. Meanwhile they have no problem with the former guys incitement of violence

fuck these two

13. How predictable: McCarthy and Greene singled out the black woman. So did Nelson and the judge.

Everyone and their grandmother has commented about Floyd, Chauvin, BLM and all issues related to police misconduct over the last year, yet Republicans accuse Waters of provoking violence. Even Eric Nelson cited Maxine's comments as grounds for a mistrial, and the trial judge agreed.

14. Fuck these traitors.

15. How about Mo Brooks on Jan. 6?

As I recall he yelled "It's time to take names and kick ass" or something very close to that. And that's what the MAGA mob did.

16. the people at that rally need to be held accountable...

trump, cawthorn, brooks, Cruz etc.

I want a 9/11 type commission for this and there is a call to do this.

[bdamomma]

17. Mo Brooks???

He is still spewing crap, Anglo Saxon shit. Hypocrites are the Repig party.

18. Kevin McCarthy opted not to punish Mo Brooks for his fiery remarks at the "Stop the Steal" rally ...

Kevin McCarthy, who is pursuing a censure resolution against Waters, opted not to punish Mo Brooks for his fiery remarks at the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6. Some GOP members had been pushing for Brooks’ censure or to strip him from his committee slots, but neither happened.
