LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A group known as the Oath Keepers is planning a protest Thursday outside the Los Angeles offices of Congresswoman Maxine Waters after comments she made about confronting Trump administration officials.
They say it may go on for weeks. The protest is planned because they said she incited "far-left terrorist violence and threats of violence."
