    Missed most of the Maxine Waters discourse yesterday, but it's funny that after months of Dem hand-wringing about how they handled protests last year, the 82-year old chair of the Financial Services Committee committee decided protesters needed to hear from her

        Waters turns 84 this term, part of this story is the "never retire" mindset that gave Democrats popular hits like a 6-3 conservative SCOTUS and Alcee Hastings's seat being vacant indefinitely

        The problem here isn't a politician giving a speech to protesters - it happens all the time, you usually don't hear about it bc they're careful not to say stuff that would look bad if violence breaks out

        Waters just keeps stumbling her way into these stories, from saying she wanted to "take Trump out" in 2017 from telling protesters to "create a crowd and push back" against Trump officials in 2018. Most Dems agree with protesters yet manage to not make these gaffes.

        It’s a social justice issue. At 84, just think of how many cases of injustice she’s seen.

        it’s also a legal issue. there are ways to achieve her goals without threatening the legality of the trial.
