Maxine Waters is a gift that keeps on giving . . . to Trumpublicans. But as a rabblerouser who gets crowds to follow her direction, she’s right down there with . . . I would have said Walter Mondale, but this isn’t the day for that.
I spent less than 15 seconds finding a newspaper article that quoted her speech. Guess what: Benson is misrepresenting what she did, what she said and who she said it to.
If you’re inclined to think Waters was fomenting a riot, you should please do the same search. Please don’t use Google: They will mostly feed your preconceptions. Use Gibiru or Duckduckgo.
And then you should go find a video of Trump egging on the folks on January 6th, just for comparison.
If Trump did it, it’s wrong. If Waters did it, it’s wrong. Stop lying to yourself that one’s motive to incite discord and violence is better than another. Wrong is wrong.
Such blind loyalty to the alt-right, Ms. Benson. Hopefully one day you’ll walk the Yellow Brick Road like the Scarecrow and get your own brain so you can think for yourself.
I just hope Representative Waters did not give ammunition to Derek Chauvin’s appeal. Judge Cahill warned that her words to ‘be confrontational’ can be misconstrued to incite rioting , thusly swaying the jury to rule against finding Chauvin not guilty. Wiser Democratic leaders avoided commenting publicly before the verdict, but she could not resist the temptation to open her big mouth.
The people (jury) has spoken and found Chauvin guilty on all three charges filed against him. Our justice system has worked as it is supposed to. Unfortunately, Maxine in shooting her mouth off has given him justification for an appeal. Appellate courts have a history of not overturning verdicts handed down by juries but, that is now a possibility. Another possibility is that an appeal may result in the more serious charges being overturned leaving the lesser charge of manslaughter standing. If any such thing happens it will be due to Maxine’s political grandstanding.

It’s okay if your guy tells his followers to storm the capitol though.

And here we are, the next morning and all is quiet—no riots, no buildings burning. The right is totally heartbroken about that fact.

It’s the RW Meme for the Week. Some of them got it on Monday, but Benson is a little slow on some things.

The GQPers have a problem with a strong Black woman who takes no gibberish from people who are zealous in their white nationalism.

Regardless of party, jury tampering is not good behavior. It may be an irresistible media opportunity, but it is not good judgment.
