Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters has urged the FBI to begin mass arresting millions of Trump supporters, warning that they are “domestic terrorists” who need to be prevented from voting this November.
Rep. Waters justified her extreme position by claiming that Trump supporters pose “a threat to national security and democracy.”
“I’m going to spend some time with the criminal justice system, with the justice system,” Waters said during an appearance on MSNBC. “Tell us what is going on with the domestic terrorists? Are they preparing a civil war against us? Should we be concerned about our safety? What is he doing with this divisive language?”
Valiantnews.com reports: Waters’ comments were in reference to former President Donald Trump and his supporters, who she claims are using language that could incite violence and unrest. She expressed a desire to understand the extent of the threat posed by these individuals and called for a thorough investigation into their activities.
“It is not just that he’s a criminal, this is a man who disrespects the Constitution and democracy and we’ve got to find out what they are doing as domestic terrorists tried to take over the government on January 6th, how far is this going to go? Are they going to be attacking, who are they going to attack? What are we going to do? I’ve got to get on, we are trying to get an investigation going about that,” Waters added.
This incident highlights the deep divisions within the United States, and the ongoing debate over how to address the threat of political violence. It also raises important questions about the role of political leaders in shaping public discourse and the potential consequences of their words.
