House Democrats stripped Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) of her committee assignments, and some sought to expel her from Congress over her embrace of conspiracy theories and alleged endorsement of violence against prominent Democrats.
Now, the Georgia Congresswoman is planning to introduce a resolution to expel Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) from Congress after a video surfaced of her saying that protesters need to “stay on the street” and “get more active” if former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is not found guilty of murdering George Floyd.
In series of tweets on Sunday, she wrote, “Very soon I’ll be introducing a resolution to expel [Maxine Waters] from Congress for her continual incitement of violence on innocent American people. Rep Waters is a danger to our society.”
“After traveling across state lines to incite riots, her orders recorded on video last night at the Brooklyn Center, directly led to more violence and a drive by shooting on National Guardsmen in Minnesota early this morning,” she continued.
Finally, she claimed, “As a sitting United States Congresswoman [Maxine Waters] threatened a jury demanding a guilty verdict and threatened violence if Chauvin is found not guilty. This is also an abuse of power.”

Waters traveled to Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, on Saturday and attended a police brutality protest.
“We’re looking for a guilty verdict,” she said of Chauvin’s trial, adding, “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 streets, but we’ve got to fight for justice.”

When asked what protesters should do if the jury does not return a guilty verdict, Waters said, “We’ve got to stay on the street, and we’ve got to get more active, we’ve got to get more confrontational. We’ve got to make sure that they know that we mean business.”
Chauvin is facing murder and manslaughter charges in the death of Floyd, which spurred nationwide protests against racism and police brutality.
The jury in the trial is expected to hear closing arguments in the case on Monday.
