Radical Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) has appeared on national television to claim that President Donald Trump “started” the violent riots, looting, and property destruction on the streets of Los Angeles.
The congresswoman also falsely alleged that Trump “supports” the violent leftists being the rioting.
Waters made the claims during a Wednesday appearance on CNN’s “News Central.”
Of course, CNN’s Brianna Keilar didn’t correct Waters or ask for evidence to support the allegations.
“The backup plan is the President of the United States should do what he didn’t do when we were invaded in the Capitol,” Waters said,
“When they had the insurrection that he led, he should get on the phone and talk to the local police, he should talk to the people that he’s had deployed there.
“And he has a responsibility in all of this.
“He started this,” Waters claimed.
“There should be no violence.
“He should not continue to support violence.”
She added, “They should not be egged on and, you know, provoked in any way.
“And that’s what the President of the United States is doing to exert his power and to show that he’s in charge, and to show that he’s going to get the numbers that he promised to get to get people deported.
“And so, you know him, everybody knows him.
“And so it is not on just the police in LA, it’s not just on anybody.
“You know, leadership should be from the President of the United States, who decided that he was going to send the armed guards in when there was no violence.
“There were no protesters at that time,” Waters said.
“Yes, I understand that there was some violence on Sunday night, and the police must be concerned, but they must be in contact with the governor and with the mayor and with the President of the United States, and have a plan collectively about how to handle this situation.”
