Previously, we reported that U.S. House Rep Maxine Waters (D-CA) was seen in a video last night talking to reporters and others. She says some reprehensible things as a sitting member of congress.
“We are looking for a guilty verdict” she says of the Derek Chauvin trial going on right now. Chauvin is the former police officer accused of killing George Floyd.
“If we don’t [get a guilty verdict], we cannot go away” she says of the people in the streets. “We gotta stay on the streets. We gotta get more active, we gotta get more confrontational” she adds.
U.S. House Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) responded to the news by announcing plans to take action against Waters for the inciting rhetoric.
“Very soon I’ll be introducing a resolution to expel @RepMaxineWaters from Congress for her continual incitement of violence on innocent American people,” Greene proposed in a tweet and insisted, “Rep Waters is a danger to our society.”
Greene continued, “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.”
“As a sitting United States Congresswoman @MaxineWaters threatened a jury demanding a guilty verdict and threatened violence if Chauvin is found not guilty. This is also an abuse of power,” Greene explained.

Conservative Greg McMullen responded to Greene and said, “I would certainly incorporate into the Resolution, the following violation of federal criminal statute- Title 18 USC Sec. 2101.”

That section references what Greene referred to and says:
“Whoever travels in interstate or foreign commerce or uses any facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including, but not limited to, the mail, telegraph, telephone, radio, or television, with intent—(1)to incite a riot; or(2)to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot; or(3)to commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or(4)to aid or abet any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot;and who either during the course of any such travel or use or thereafter performs or attempts to perform any other overt act for any purpose specified in subparagraph (A), (B), (C), or (D) of this paragraph— [1]Shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
