Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is calling supporters of former President Donald Trump ā€œdomestic terrorists.ā€

Waters made that claim on MSNBC Sunday, per Fox News.

ā€œI’m worried that he’s so divisive and that he’s talking about retribution, and they’re talking about revenge and I think that that’s dangerous. He’s even mentioned civil war at one point, talked about there would be bloodshed,ā€ Waters said, referring to Trump’s rhetoric.

Waters said she would ask the ā€œcriminal justice systemā€ to find out what is ā€œgoing on with the domestic terrorists,ā€ in reference to Trump supporters.

ā€œAre they preparing a civil war against us?ā€ she said. ā€œShould we be concerned about our safety? What is doing with this divisive language? It is dangerous.ā€

ā€œThis is not good for this country,ā€ Waters said, ā€œbut he does not care about democracy, he does not care about the Constitution of the United States. He’s in love with Putin and Russia and Kim Jong-un and North Korea.ā€

Waters also pointed to the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

ā€œIt is not just that a criminal, this is a man who disrespects the Constitution and democracy and we have got to find out what they are doing as domestic terrorists tried to take over the government on Jan. 6,ā€ she said.

ā€œHow far is this going to go?ā€ Waters said. ā€œAre they going to be attacking? Whom are they going to attack? What are we going to do? We’re trying to get an investigation going about that.ā€

Waters posted on X, formerly Twitter, after Trump’s Conviction on Thursday.

ā€œTrump shut your mouth!ā€ Waters wrote. ā€œYou talk about saving the Constitution? You’re the one who has disrespected the Constitution and you have supporters who believe we should get rid of the Constitution! Just shut your mouth, you’re convicted on all counts!ā€
