The Democratic lawmaker called for protesters "to get more confrontational" at a weekend Minnesota rally.
The judge in the Derek Chauvin murder trial said Monday that Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters’ plea for protesters to “get more confrontational” could lead to the case eventually being overturned. Waters, of California, appeared at a rally Saturday in Minnesota and was asked what demonstrators should do if Chauvin ― the ex-Minneapolis cop accused of pressing his knee against the neck of George Floyd ― was acquitted of murder. “We’ve got to stay on the street and we’ve got to get more active, we’ve got to get more confrontational,” Waters replied, as seen in the clip above. “We’ve got to be sure that they know we mean business.”
