After a period of relative quiet, Rep. Maxine Waters has re-emerged as one of the fiercest anti-Trump voices in Congress. She recently accused Trump supporters of “training in the mountains” for physical violence and called Trump a “pure racist.”
That rhetoric seems tame compared to her public diatribes during the Trump administration. In 2018, she infamously encouraged her supporters to publicly harass members of Trump’s cabinet: “Go out and create a mob, push them back, tell them they’re not welcome anywhere anymore!”
The BET special aired as former President Donald Trump continues to grow his support among Black voters who are fed up with the Biden administration’s economic policies, which have caused runaway inflation and pushed the prices of basic goods and services like food, energy, rent and insurance to record levels.
