McCarthy: Maxine Waters 'finds value in violence'; Democrats must censure or 'own' her, Tlaib's statements
Fox News
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said Monday that when House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., requested anti-police protesters get "more confrontational" if a jury chooses not to convict former Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd, then she "finds value in violence."
She previously told a crowd in California in 2018 to "get in the face" of Trump administration staffers if they recognize them in public. The Los Angeles lawmaker also spoke at an LGBT group gala in New York in 2017, where she made headlines for declaring that she was "inspired" by the event to "go and take Trump out." Waters later defended the latter comments, telling CNN's Christopher Cuomo at the time that "nobody believes" she was threatening an attempt on the then-president's life, and that it is "absolutely ridiculous" for people to think "a grandmother who is a congresswoman... for all of these years would be talking about doing any harm." On "Fox News Primetime," McCarthy said Waters' most recent incendiary remarks indeed rise to the level of congressional censure.More Related News
