Maxine has a call to action for her fellow lunatics:
“If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd,” Waters told a gathering Saturday. “And you push back on them. Tell them they’re not welcome any more, anywhere!”
She tried to backtrack, saying she “couldn’t tell people how to protest.”
Um… you just did, you windbag.
Anyway, her backpedaling was too little, too late. She’s a legitimate threat to Americans’ safety. …and some Republicans are looking to do something about it.
Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs on Monday introduced a measure that would censure Rep. Maxine Waters and ask her to resign for inciting people to publicly confront Trump administration officials.
Not happening… but that would be FANTASTIC.
Biggs told The Hill that Waters’ comments do “not become somebody who’s in Congress” and warrant disciplinary action.
“So we just introduced it, we have some cosponsors, but what she did was to basically incite people to come after and attack members of the president’s cabinet,” the Arizona Republican told The Hill. “And also spread that out to more people.”
“Everybody agrees that it was just highly objectionable what she did,” he added.
Other than Cory Booker. He came up with some weird line about how she just “leads with love.” It was as insane as it sounds.
The measure calls on Waters to apologize to Trump administration officials “for endangering their lives and sowing seeds of discord,” to release a statement making it clear that violence and harassment aren’t appropriate ways to protest, and finally to resign her House seat.
Yeah, right. I’d really REALLY like to see this happen, but I’m not holding my breath.
Tonight, I introduced a resolution to censure and condemn Maxine Waters for her recent comments, that encouraged actions that jeopardized the safety of government officials. Her rhetoric, as a Member of Congress, was unacceptable. STATEMENT: https://t.co/9GbZZyFk5p

Earlier on Monday, Former George W. Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer called on Congress to censure Waters.
“There’s enough in this society, you don’t engage in those types of practices. And, Maxine basically denied that she called on people to harass others. No peace, no rest. So she is still sticking by what she has done,” said Fleischer. “The press needs to have a feeding frenzy among the left as they always do on the right. It’s her turn now. Frankly I’m at the point where, if she continues to double down the house ought to take up a motion to censure her. Because this does lead to violence.”
So far, five members have agreed to sign onto Biggs’ measure.
As I said, I don’t think this will go anywhere.
BUT what they SHOULD do is go around asking EVERY. SINGLE. DEMOCRAT. if they stand by her appalling and dangerous behavior.
Let us know what each one of them says.
