CNN Panel Condemns Maxine Waters’ ‘Mob Rule’ Calls to Disrupt Trump Administration (Video)

The set of CNN’s “New Day” did not take kindly to Rep. Maxine Waters’ recent rallying cry to supporters, urging them refuse service to members of Donald Trump’s cabinet when they’re out in public, warning that “mob rule” would not be good for anyone and only played into the president’s hands.

“If we get to a place as a country where it is open season on anyone if they serve in an administration in public, when mob rule starts being advocated by elected officials. That is bad for everybody,” said CNN’s newest contributor John Avlon, who also warned that heckling and public shaming would create a “veneer of moral equivalence” which would only help Republicans in the midterms.

WoW! the insanity grows in the dark...

Just some virtue signaling on CNN’s part. They want the violence to increase.

Judicial Watch Files House Ethics Complaint Against Maxine Waters For Inciting Violence and Assaults on Trump Cabinet
JUNE 25, 2018

In encouraging individuals to create “crowds” who will “push back” on President Trump’s Cabinet members at private business establishments and in seemingly trying to prevent these Cabinet officials from obtaining basic necessities without fear of assault and violence, Rep. Waters seems to be violation of House rules…

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today sent a hand-delivered letter to the chairman and co-chairman of the House Office of Congressional Ethics calling for an investigation into whether Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) violated House ethics rules by encouraging violence against Trump administration Cabinet members.

Rep. Maxine Waters addressed a rally in Los Angeles on Saturday, June 23, telling a crowd:

“If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them! And you tell them that they are not welcome, anymore, anywhere.”

In today’s letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics co-chairman, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton writes:

In encouraging individuals to create “crowds” who will “push back” on President Trump’s Cabinet members at private business establishments and in seemingly trying to prevent these Cabinet officials from obtaining basic necessities without fear of assault and violence, Rep. Waters seems to be violation of House rules, specifically:

A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House shall conduct himself at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House. [House Rule 23, clause 1.]

We hereby request that the Office of Congressional Ethics conduct a preliminary investigation into whether Rep. Maxine Waters violated House Rules in encouraging attacks on Cabinet officials.

“Rep. Maxine Waters incited violence and assault against members of President Trump’s Cabinet,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “It is urgent that the House Ethics Office quickly acts to hold her accountable for this dangerous incitement.”

The CNN employees are probably fearful that if this type of attitude spreads, the loony right will start pushing back and harass/ threaten members of the Media in public and outside their homes...just like Waters is suggesting be done to Trump's cabinet members.

Some time around 1989 Republican Jesse Helms said Bill Clinton better have a body guard if he was to ever come to North Carolina. After the Secret Service posed a few question as to whether he was making a threat, Helms quickly backed off.

Of course we all remember when Trump said he was going to pay legal fees of those who engage in violence:

Trump's endorsement of violence reaches new level: He may pay legal fees for assault suspect


Trump's endorsement of violence reaches new level: He may pay legal fees for assault suspect


TRUMP TOLD WHITE SUPREMACISTS TO ATTACK PROTESTERS, SO THEY DID


Trump Told White Supremacists to Attack Protesters, So They Did




right wingers had no problem with Trump inciting violence so they should be perfectly here on this occasion as well

Imagine a scenario where an Alt Right loony kills a CNN reporter...then an Alt Left maniac retaliates by offing Rush Limbaugh. In some ways I don't think this possibility is that far off the way things are escalating with our neighbours to the South.

right winger challenged as to why Trump is not forced to apologize when he called for violence

Trump called for violence so why isn't he silenced?

The ever intolerant radical far right continues to engage in its McCarthyite censorship and suppression of free speech:


Maxine Waters Cancels Events Due to 'Very Serious Death Threat'
Dem says she's been hit with intimidating warnings after her remarks on protesting Cabinet members




Maxine Waters Cancels Events Due to 'Very Serious Death Threat'


Such inclination towards violence and hate is proof of radical far right mental illness. Since forum right wingers say that about the left, they should have no problem with the same standard applied to their side.
