Maxine Waters tells BLM protesters 'get more confrontational'

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) traveled to Minnesota this weekend, urging protesters to "stay in the street" and to even become "more confrontational" if former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is acquitted of killing resident George Floyd this week.

Waters had arrived in Brooklyn Center, Minn. on Saturday to join demonstrations over the police shooting of Daunte Wright last week. During a traffic stop an officer shot and killed the 20-year-old with a handgun after intending to use a Taser. The incident, which took place just 10 miles from the courthouse where Chauvin is being tried in the murder of Floyd, has sparked nightly demonstrations.

In a video shared on social media, the California congresswoman was heard calling for protesters to ignore a curfew.

On Sunday, the hashtags #MaxineWaters was trending along with #BrooklynCenter and #DaunteWright to rally support for justice for Daunte Wright and George Floyd. However, many critics of the liberal lawmaker have taken issue with her calls to become "more confrontational", which they say was calling for protesters to commit acts of violence.
