Congresswoman Maxine Waters is afraid for the lives of Americans.

The other day on MSNBC, the Congresswoman pledged to speak to President Biden and the DOJ about a significant problem lurking in the hills.

According to Waters, violent right-wing groups "tied" to former President Trump are set to bring violence to the masses if and when Mr. Trump loses the election in November.

Violence is a big concern for Waters; she was quick to condemn protest violence during the George Floyd riots.

Actually, she called for Floyd protesters to "get more confrontational" and "stay on the streets" if then police officer Derek Chauvin was acquitted.

Yeah. 

Come to think of it, there's no evidence or legit connection between Trump and right-wing militias.  

There are loony right-wing people who hide in the hills with weapons and bombs, that is true, but any suggestion Trump controls them and that there are plans for an insurrection is wildly speculative.

Waters' statement is an example of a double standard in politics.

When Donald Trump says something wacky, speaks in generalities, or makes a joke, he's widely condemned by the left and the mainstream media.

MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart, who conducted the interview, prodded and made no attempt to moderate 85-year-old Waters, asking her if she believed Trump when he told Time Magazine that he had no intention of exploring a third term if elected President.

Surprise. She didn't.

Congressman Robert Garcia, the other guest along with Waters, declared Trump would "destroy America" and extend his term in office.

The lower banner read, "TRUMP LAYS OUT AUTHORITARIAN VISION FOR A SECOND TERM."

Just to be fair, Trump was asked about violence following the election multiple times by Time Magazine, dismissing it outright in the first interview before giving this response the second time.

"I don't think we're going to have that.  I think we're going to win.  And if we don't win, you know, it depends.  It always depends on the fairness of an election," Trump told Time Magazine when asked about if he worried about violence if he loses in November.  "I don't believe they'll be able to do the things that they did the last time. I don't think they'll be able to get away with it. And if that's the case, we're gonna win in record-setting fashion."

Was this the smoking gun?
