The California Democrat also called on President Trump to “take responsibility for the kind of violence that we are seeing for the first time in different ways,” in the wake of multiple explosive devices sent to prominent Democrats.

"I think the president of United States should take responsibility for the kind of violence that we are seeing for the first time in different ways," Waters said. "I think the president of the United States has been dog-whistling to his constituency, making them believe that their problems are caused by those people over there."

“And I think they are acting in a way that they think the president wants them to do and the way he wants them to act,” Waters continued, before adding that Trump “in his own way really does promote a lot of violence.”

This coming from the same person that advocates beating up Trump supporters?
 
The woman has NO room to talk.
 
Waters has no room to talk, Trump has no room to talk, the lot of them have destroyed what is left of discourse in this nation.

I think that includes all of us as well. Anonymity of hiding behind the screen has not improved decorum.
 
President Trump deserves all the flack he gets for his philippics. That aside, Rep Waters is adding to the problem with her own inflammatory comments. Here’s an idea, don’t criticize someone for scabrous rhetoric then turn around and follow suit.

Jao
 
Trump and his goons have been promoting violence for over a decade. And when someone exposed to these threats and violence starts to fight back, then suddenly they are the bad ones?

Funny how spitting in the faces of black politicians and acting very threateningly is not a problem for the right buy this is?

The bombs were only as powerful as the words behind them. In this case, not so much.

Yes and no, not many here seem to be calling for the division, hatred, and violence some of our politicians hint at.

I would disagree. Many here support Trump's agenda 100%, and by Trump's own words that is an agenda of division, hatred, and violence.

Post #3 by Manc Skipper has a good link quoting some of Trump's calls to violence.

Trump led the racist Birther Movement, and has used racism throughout his election campaign, and his presidency, to court racists and energize his base. That is certainly an agenda that promotes division and hatred.

That is why I said "yes and no." We are going to have a few here every so often suggesting the same thing Trump does, or Waters does.
 
The Republicans are violent people, it is in their nature. They supported Trump because he talks about violence. Tax them an extra $10, they will be screaming violence. The only difference between a monkey and a Republican, a Republican can speak.

LOL!

We have video evidence.

"The people are going to turn on them. They're going to protest. They're going to absolutely harass them until they decide that they're going to tell the President, 'No, I can't hang with you.'"
