Maxine Waters rips GOP criticism: 'I'm not going to be bullied'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) ripped GOP lawmakers in a Monday interview, saying they were trying to "send a message" to white supremacists with their criticism of her.

"I am nonviolent," Waters told The Grio on Monday after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) accused her of condoning political violence by stating supporters of racial justice and Black Lives Matter should be "more confrontational."

"Republicans will jump on any word, any line and try to make it fit their message and their cause for denouncing us and denying us, basically calling us violent ... any time they see an opportunity to seize on a word, so they do it and they send a message to all of the white supremacists, the KKK, the Oath Keepers, the [Proud] Boys and all of that, how this is a time for [Republicans] to raise money on [Democrats'] backs," Waters said.

Waters told The Grio she is "not worried that they're going to continue to distort what I say."

4. We saw Judge Cahill's True Colors Today

I strong black women stood up to racism and an old white guy, in a position of power, had to "try" to put a well respected congresswomen in her place......sad. Maybe he should have called out Trump and all his MAGAts for all their pro police violence rhetoric.

5. Defense attorney Nelson

Even tried to use this as one of his excuses when he was trying for a mistrial. Didn't work. If I understand this correctly , Maxine Waters was actually in the Minneapolis suburb where the recent shooting occurred when she said these things. I had to laugh when I saw that Marjorie Taylor Greene was trying to chastise her.

7. We are taking it to them

The GQP is so without a moral foundation now. They are inventing issues in the delusion of their own brilliance. They are fading.

8. You know what's the best about Waters????

SHE OWNS THE CONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9. I think the judge revealed himself today

Seriously who does he think he is? His comment in of itself will affect any attempted appeals. All so he could put a black woman in her place. Or at least try to. Fucking hypocrite.

11. He's been sort of problematic during the whole trial

Starting with that incident where he attacked a prosecution witness.

12. +1, seeing there were tons of MAGA Cultist who've said shit about this trial already why single

... Waters out?!

The judge didn't make the right call on this one and should've left that out of the discourse

10. What's even more laughable/ironic

Is that her probable GOP challenger thinks she should be disqualified from running again because.......wait for it.....she was inciting insurrection.
