Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is calling supporters of former President Donald Trump ādomestic terrorists.ā
Waters made that claim on MSNBC Sunday, per Fox News.
āIām worried that heās so divisive and that heās talking about retribution, and theyāre talking about revenge and I think that thatās dangerous. Heās even mentioned civil war at one point, talked about there would be bloodshed,ā Waters said, referring to Trumpās rhetoric.
Waters said she would ask the ācriminal justice systemā to find out what is āgoing on with the domestic terrorists,ā in reference to Trump supporters.
āAre they preparing a civil war against us?ā she said. āShould we be concerned about our safety? What is doing with this divisive language? It is dangerous.ā
āThis is not good for this country,ā Waters said, ābut he does not care about democracy, he does not care about the Constitution of the United States. Heās 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.
āIt 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.
āHow far is this going to go?ā Waters said. āAre they going to be attacking? Whom are they going to attack? What are we going to do? Weāre trying to get an investigation going about that.ā
Waters posted on X, formerly Twitter, after Trumpās Conviction on Thursday.
āTrump shut your mouth!ā Waters wrote. āYou talk about saving the Constitution? Youāre the one who has disrespected the Constitution and you have supporters who believe we should get rid of the Constitution! Just shut your mouth, youāre convicted on all counts!ā
