Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters Denies Encouraging Violence Against Trump Supporters (VIDEO)
82-year-old Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is now denying she ever encouraged violence against Trump supporters.
Maxine Waters on Sunday told MSNBC that she never glorified or encouraged violence against Republicans.
“As a matter of fact, if you look at the words that I used, the strongest thing I said was tell them they’re not welcome. ‘Talk to them. Tell them they’re not welcome.’ I didn’t say, ‘Go and fight.’ I didn’t say anybody was going to have any violence. And so they can’t make that stick.”
