A chorus of Republicans blasted Rep. Maxine Waters Sunday for telling angry protesters to “stay in the streets” and “get more confrontational” during the seven-straight night of unrest in Minnesota — saying the California Democrat’s fiery comments could incite violence in a state already on edge.

Yep, that's just the kind of leadership our communities need.  I doubt she's inviting the "Protestors" into her neighborhood.
Not marked political because violence in the streets is not political, it's unlawful. dangerous and harmful to businesses and communities in general.

Honestly, what does she have to loose? In today's American social and political climate, black racists have an advantage. Why would a racist politician NOT take advantage of it?
And yes it is political, she is a politician doing politics in the new biden america.[This message has been edited by Rickady88GT (edited 04-19-2021).]

There were no such explicit words or suggestions uttered by President Trump on January 6, yet there was this big push to charge him with inciting violence. Just hide and watch and you'll see that this will never happen with Maxine Waters.

In a joint [sic] investigation by NBC News and Bellingcat, "On Assignment" with Richard Engel takes a closer look at the Capitol Building insurrection on January 6.
"Our House--Trump's Last Stand"
This is part one of the hour-long "Our House" production. It's 7+ minutes of video. At the 2:13 mark, the focus is on the recklessness and incitement that came directly from (former) President Trump, speaking into a microphone, at the rally in front of the White House.
https://link.theplatform.co...d=true&formats=MPEG4
Dangerous words from Maxine Waters. "Check." Dangerous words from President Trump. "Check."
The Democrats went after (former) President Trump with a second attempt at impeachment--even after the serving President's last name had became "Biden." With virtually no support from Republicans.
Republicans are going after Maxine Waters, calling her out for her comments. But not any Democrats.
The Democrats and the Republicans were (are) not on the "same page" about the reckless words in either case. Either (former) President Trump's words, or these new words from Maxine Waters.
What do I see here?
SYMMETRY.

I just learned that the jury had not been sequestered until tonight. What are the chances that they have heard the comments from Mad Maxine and others? What is the likelihood that the trial is now tainted?
I'm sure someone will be along shortly to tell me that tainted is not the correct word and that the jurors have been instructed not to read or watch any news, but everyone else will know what I am getting at. Has Wacky Waters just screwed up everything?

I can't answer that question but, I sure hope she gets removed from office. Doubtful that will happen though, the Dems stick together regardless of how it may appear.

A guilty verdict on any of the counts is going to go to appeal no matter what. On what grounds the appeal is based and how it is worded is the only question.
A hung jury would result in a re-trial, but I very much suspect the defense would push hard to postpone any new trial for as long as possible.
Personally, I do believe a guilty verdict will be handed down by the jury. Which counts? I have not kept close tabs on what evidence was presented at trial but based on what I did peek at, I think at most, 2nd degree unintended murder or 3rd degree manslaughter.[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 04-20-2021).]

Got some video highlights. Just a few minutes worth. It's here if anyone wants it. The links are set up to queue the YouTube video "on the mark."
At the 5:47 mark, Chris Hayes reviews the moment when the defense counsel brought up what Maxine Waters had said, and then the judge responded. The jurors were not present for this exchange.

At the 7:34 mark, MSNBC contributor and legal analyst Katie Phang goes to "Jury Sequestration"--something the defense had wanted all along, but was never granted by the judge.
