Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) has claimed President Donald Trump’s supporters are “domestic terrorists” who must be investigated.
While explaining the wild allegations, Waters argued, without evidence, that Trump supporters are “preparing a civil war against us.”
Waters claims that Trump and his supporters are instigating violence in the U.S. and threatening “bloodshed.”
During an appearance on MSNBC Sunday, Waters issued a warning about Trump and those who vote for him.
“I’m worried that he’s so divisive and that he’s talking about retribution, and they’re talking about revenge and I think that that’s dangerous,” the congresswoman said.
“He’s even mentioned civil war at one point, talked about there would be bloodshed.”
During the media appearance, Waters vowed that she would ask the “criminal justice system” to find out what is “going on with the domestic terrorists,” seeming to refer to the presumptive Republican nominee’s supporters.
“Are they preparing a civil war against us?” she continued.
“Should we be concerned about our safety?
“What is [Trump] doing with this divisive language? It is dangerous.”
“This is not good for this country,” Waters added.
“He does not care about democracy, he does not care about the Constitution of the United States,” she claimed.
“He’s in love with Putin and Russia and Kim Jong-un and North Korea.”
“It is not just that [Trump is] a criminal, this is a man who disrespects the Constitution and democracy and we have got to find out what they are doing as domestic terrorists [who] tried to take over the government on Jan. 6,” she continued.
“How far is this going to go?” Waters asked.
“Are they going to be attacking?
“Whom are they going to attack?
“What are we going to do?
“We’re trying to get an investigation going about that.”

But she’s the one who has actually called for violence.

Waters also referenced a social media post she made attacking Trump after his historic conviction in New York.
“Trump shut your mouth!” Waters wrote in a post on X Thursday.
“You talk about saving the Constitution?
“You’re the one who has disrespected the Constitution and you have supporters who believe we should get rid of the Constitution!
“Just shut your mouth, you’re convicted on all counts!”

Waters previously claimed last month that Trump supporters are “training” to launch a violent attack if Democrat President Joe Biden wins the election in November.
“I’ll tell you what I’m going to do,” she remarked.
“I’m going to ask the Justice Department, and I am going to ask the president to tell us what they are going to do to protect this country against violence if [Biden] loses.
“I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that [Trump] is connected with who are training up in the hills somewhere and targeting what communities they are going to attack.
“We need to know now, given that he is telling us there is going to be violence if he loses.
“We need to know what his plan is and how we are going to be protected,” Waters said.
Unsurprisingly, Waters didn’t provide any evidence to support the allegations.
Waters has also been accused of violent rhetoric herself.
The congresswoman caused controversy in 2021 after telling protesters to “get more confrontational” if ex-Minneapolis police Derek Chauvin was acquitted in the death of George Floyd.
Chauvin was stabbed by an inmate in federal prison and seriously injured in 2023 after he was convicted for Floyd’s death.
