DailyCaller | California Rep. Maxine Waters burst into tears Monday on MSNBC as she
used “the children” to deflect away from the harassment comments she
made over the weekend.
“I did not call for harm for anybody. The president lied again,” Waters said.
She then turned to “the children.”
“But let’s not talk about
that. Let’s focus on the children. That’s what this is all about. It is
about the fact that children have been snatched from their parents’
arms,” Waters said, moving away from the controversy over her comments.
Waters then burst into tears after being confronted with the fact that major Democrats are denouncing her harassment claims.
“They
don’t really say I’m out of line. What they do is try to find a way
talk about civility without attacking me or anybody else as the leader
of the Democratic Party, I expect that she would do everything that she
could to make sure nobody believes that Democrats are out here harassing
anybody or causing any violence,” Waters said of House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi, who denounced Waters’ harassment comments Monday.
Waters
made comments over the weekend about getting out and pushing back on
people with differing political ideologies, saying, “If you see anybody
from that cabinet in a restaurant, in department store, at a gasoline
station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them.
Tell them they’re not welcome any more, anywhere!”
