CNN's Don Lemon: 'People with half a brain' know Maxine Waters wasn't inciting violence
Fox News
CNN anchor Don Lemon is the latest mainstream journalist to go to bat for Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., after she was accused of inciting violence as the Derek Chauvin trial goes to the jury.
Waters said she was "hopeful" Chauvin would be convicted of murder, but if he isn't, "we cannot go away." Chauvin's defense attorney Eric Nelson invoked the congresswoman's remarks in a motion for a mistrial following closing arguments Monday. Judge Peter Cahill denied the motion, though he acknowledged to Nelson that "Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned."More Related News
