One of Georgia’s Congressional representatives wants Maxine Waters expelled from Congress.
Marjorie Taylor Greene of the 14th district filed H. Res. 327 last week to expel Rep. Maxine Waters from Congress for “her years of inciting violence, rioting, and a drive-by shooting against National Guardsmen in Minnesota.”
Greene cited a laundry list of examples dating back to 1992, referencing George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Trump, and Black Lives Matter, including:
- In the wake of the Rodney King riots in May 1992, Representative Waters said “If you call it a riot, it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable. So I call it a rebellion.”
- On January 27, 2007, Representative Waters told an anti-Iraq war rally “My name is Maxine Waters and I am not afraid of George Bush. My name is Maxine Waters and I’m not intimidated by Dick Cheney. My name is Maxine Waters and I have to get rid of Rumsfeld.”
- On October 20, 2017, Representative Waters told a crowd at an LGBTQ Youth Gala, “With this kind of inspiration, I will go and take Trump out tonight.”
- On June 23, 2018, Representative Waters told a crowd “If you see anybody from [President Trump’s cabinet] in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them! And you tell them that they are not welcome, anymore, anywhere.”
- On September 8, 2018, Representative Waters told a crowd of her supporters in Los Angeles: “I did not threaten [Trump] constituents and supporters. I do that all the time, but I didn’t do that that time.”
- On April 17, 2021, Representative Waters told violent protesters: “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.”
- Representative Waters traveled across state lines, to promote and encourage riots that led to violence and community destruction, which is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison (18 U.S.C. 2101)
- Representative Waters has threatened a jury if they do not find a guilty verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin.
- Representative Waters has violated House Rule 23, Clause 1, which states that “A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House shall conduct himself at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House.”
Greene also released a statement with the list a copy of the filed legislation:
“Democrat Maxine Waters stood in the streets of Minnesota while breaking curfew and inciting riots that led to gunshots being fired at National Guardsmen. She ordered Black Lives Matter terrorists to ‘stay in the street’ and ‘get more confrontational.’ What’s more confrontational than burning cities for almost a year? What’s more confrontational than thugs and criminals looting our businesses? What’s more confrontational than killing innocent Americans like David Dorn? This is nothing new from Maxine Waters. She has been inciting violence and terrorism for the last 29 years.
It’s time to EXPEL Maxine Waters!”
