Fox News
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., scolded Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., Monday over what he called "appalling" comments and urged President Biden to prepare for national unrest as the jury deliberates the fate of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
Waters urged protesters in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, where Daunte Wright was shot and killed by a police officer April 12, to "stay in the street" as she joined the protests on Saturday and violated the local curfew. "We've got to stay in the street and we've got to get more active, we've got to get more confrontational," Waters said, referencing a scenario in which Chauvin is acquitted. "We've got to make sure that they know that we mean business."More Related News
