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

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.”
