Freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said Sunday that she plans to introduce a resolution calling on Congress to expel sixteen-term Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) over incendiary remarks Waters made at an anti-police protest in Brooklyn City, Minnesota late Saturday night. Waters was recorded on video demanding a guilty verdict from the jury in the Derek Chauvin trial and urged protesters to “get more confrontational.”
Greene posted her intention to Twitter, saying, “Very soon I’ll be introducing a resolution to expel @RepMaxineWaters from Congress for her continual incitement of violence on innocent American people. Rep Waters is a danger to our society…After traveling across state lines to incite riots, her orders recorded on video last night at the Brooklyn Center, directly led to more violence and a drive by shooting on National Guardsmen in Minnesota early this morning…As a sitting United States Congresswoman @MaxineWaters threatened a jury demanding a guilty verdict and threatened violence if Chauvin is found not guilty. This is also an abuse of power.#ExpelMaxineWaters”

Waters also told reporters Republicans in Congress were willing to kill their Democrat colleagues:
Hours after Waters’ remarks, two Minnesota National Guard soldiers on riot patrol were wounded in a drive-by shooting in Minneapolis.
Other Republican Congressmen have spoken out on Waters:
Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado asked, “Why is a sitting member of Congress encouraging protesters to get “confrontational?””
Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, “Why is Maxine Waters traveling to a different state trying to incite a riot? What good can come from this?…Molotov cocktails and firecrackers are not enough. Mad Max wants rioters to get MORE confrontational…Maxine Waters would already be expelled if she was a Republican.”
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) commented on Waters, “Democrats actively encouraging riots & violence. They want to tear us apart.“’We gotta stay on the street,’ Waters was recorded saying, adding that protesters needed ‘to get more confrontational’ & they should ignore the curfew in place.””
In June 2018 Waters encouraged liberals to attack Trump officials in public.
