Maxine Waters defends involvement with protesters in Minnesota amid criticism over ‘confrontational' comments
Fox News
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., justified her remarks encouraging protesters in Minnesota after Republicans slammed her for encouraging confrontations in the event that former police officer Derek Chauvin is not convicted of murder for the death of George Floyd.
"We've got to stay on the street and we've got to get more active, we've got to get more confrontational," Waters suggested when discussing what people should do if Chauvin is not convicted of murder. "We've got to make sure that they know that we mean business." On Sunday, Waters was in Minnesota supporting the protesters and she explained why she was there in an interview with MSNBC.More Related News
