Maxine Waters asking BLM to amp up 'confrontations' amid Chauvin trial, still active on ******** and Twitter while Trump is not
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...AB2D5bPQ-vZc0M
Videos of Rep. Maxine Waters calling on Black Lives Matter protesters to become “more confrontational” are circulating on both Twitter and ******** despite the tech giants banning the promotion of violence and stripping former President Donald Trump of his accounts for comments they deemed incited an insurrection.
“We’re looking for a guilty verdict,” Waters said in the videos to protesters in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. “And we’re looking to see if all of the talk that took place and has been taking place after they saw what happened to George Floyd, if nothing does not happen, then we know that we’ve got to not only stay in the street, but we’ve got to fight for justice.”
Her comments come as Derek Chauvin faces trial for the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last May. Waters made the trip to Minnesota on Saturday to join protesters following the police-involved shooting of Daunte Wright last Sunday.
“I am very hopeful,” the California Democrat added of Chauvin being found guilty. “I hope that we are going to get a verdict that will say 'guilty, guilty, guilty.'”
“And if we don’t, we cannot go away,” she added. “We’ve got to get more confrontational.”
The videos of her comments have since gone viral, with multiple commentators and news outlets showing the clips on Twitter and ********.
Her comments have been met with pushback, including from Sen. Ted Cruz, who said, “Democrats actively encouraging riots & violence. They want to tear us apart.”
******** and Twitter both have firm policies against inciting or promoting violence on their platforms, which were highlighted when they banned former President Donald Trump earlier this year over what they characterized as the former president inciting the siege of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
“After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” Twitter said in a statement at the time.
"We believe the risks of allowing the president to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great," ******** CEO Mark Zuckerberg echoed in a statement of his own. "Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his ******** and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete."
Trump was ultimately found not guilty of inciting an insurrection during his second impeachment trial.
******** and Twitter did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment if the videos of Waters broke their rules on promoting violence.
Waters’s comments come as Minneapolis has seen repeated nights of rioting, looting, and protests in response to Wright’s death. The city is currently bracing for a verdict on Chauvin, with riots anticipated if he is not found guilty of murder.
This isn’t the first time that the tech behemoths have made headlines for banning Trump but leaving up content from Democratic politicians suggesting violence or confrontations against Republicans or others.
Waters, for example, again faced criticism over promoting violence after calling for her supporters to harass Trump administration officials in public during a rally in 2018.
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out, and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” Waters said.
She later denied that she incited violence against Republicans.
"As a matter of fact, if you look at the words that I used, the strongest thing I said was, tell them they're not welcome," Waters said when asked by MSNBC if she had ever “glorified or encouraged” violence against political opponents in February.
Waters is far from alone, with Rep. Ted Lieu, Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. Joaquin Castro, Sen. Jon Tester, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also suggesting violence or confrontations in videos that remain active on Twitter.

How or why isn’t trump suing for defamation of character or even racism as clearly they banned him for being white while a black does it 10 fold with no repercussions

Liberal checking in
”..if nothing does not happen... “I hope that we are going to get a verdict that will say 'guilty, guilty, guilty.'”
“And if we don’t, we cannot go away,” she added. “We’ve got to get more confrontational.
She’s a black chick. She’s old, too (MLK times).
She watched a white police officer kneel on a black man’s neck while he died on TV.
If this dude gets off, and, it sounds like, doesn’t get charged on all 3 counts, she wants all hell to break lose.
Kinda puts her in a similar position to Trump on Jan 6th if that’s what happens.The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter

You’re asking me if Trump “directly” called for violence during his stop the steal (lol) speech on Jan 6th?
Dunno, man. Did he?
He was accused of inciting violence, though.
This is why I said that if all hell breaks lose, Maxine Waters is gonna be in a similar situation—she’s gonna be open to being accused of inciting violence/causing riots all over the country.
Was that a little clearer?The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter

Are you retarded? It was in the form of a question. It takes the most minimal effort to read the rest of a sentence.
I was asking for you to be clear and not cryptic in regards to your comment on the capitol riot, which is another largely brainwashed notion- like the "fine people on both sides" nonsense. Good thing we live in a country where beyond reasonable doubt is still the American way and it's obvious even from your post that it's not. Now we can say for sure that Waters did incite violence, directly. See the difference?USMC 0311

Yeah, I think where you’re getting lost here is that you’re under the impression I am sharing some kind of commentary on Trump’s culpability for the actions of his supporters after he addressed them at the Stop the Steal speech on January 6th.
I am not.
I was addressing the query of how a liberal would respond to the OP after Trump was impeached for inciting violence or whatever by the house dems.
You seem to take issue with me sharing my opinion or answering that query because you want to know if I think Trump was responsible for Jan 6th.
Did I get that right?The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter

when i read the thread title i already knew it was false, Democrats are a protected species, they have what is called Democratic immunity, they are seen as the saviors of all humanity despite the lies being told, this is why they are free to say what they want without repercussions.
They can paint themselves in black face, have scandals that would make any other human be guilty as charged, they can say whatever they want and have no pushback , they are seen as super heros despite the insulting and racist comments because of their " overall" views.
They lie through their teeth , which is why they say " follow the science!" and then turn around and say " there are 64 genders" , they want to save the planet but fly in their private jets , they want to end the filibuster despite using it during the Trump administration , their go-to way of
passing laws is by executive order.

These people want nothing less than power, period end of story .
They say their views aren't communism but they push for cancel culture ...Brazilian Jiu Jitsu purple belt

Do you you realize our reading comprehension is fine, but he, and you, lack gramar skills?
He made a statement by saying "Trump directly called for violence," regardless of what follows it. If it was part of the question, and thusly a comparison, then he should have written "Did Trump directly call for violence or..."Forever alone?
