Scalise dismisses comparison between Waters, Trump comments before Capitol riots

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) said there is no comparison to be drawn between statements made by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) in Minnesota during a rally for racial justice over the weekend and comments from former President Trump before the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

"A lot of people have talked about the comments that other people have made and spoken out against it," Scalise said during a press conference on Tuesday. "Right now I haven't heard any Democrats speaking out against what Maxine has said. And it's time for Democrats to speak out when they see it on both sides ... and that hypocrisy is starting to shine through."

On Saturday, Waters told a group of protesters and journalists in Brooklyn Center, Minn., where a 20-year-old Black man was shot and killed by a police officer last week, "we've got to get more confrontational," when advocating for police reforms.

Republicans expressed outrage over the comments, saying they amounted to an incitement of violence. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said this week he plans to introduce a motion to censure Waters following the remarks.

1. He's right. There is no comparison.

2. I'm convinced that these jokers are going after Auntie Maxine

Not for the comments at the rally, but because she shut down Gym Jordan by telling him to "shut his mouth". They just can't handle a powerful black woman standing up to them.

4. So this is telling me that Scalise sets a really low bar for any individual to be

appointed to the Supreme Court. Too bad. So sad. Oh well, buh-bye Scalise.

6. And tell me again how you spoke out against your leader, rep. Scalise?

As I recall not many in your party had the guts, the balls, the spine to speak up against the violence on January 6th.


As I recall your party turned a blind eye to everything your leader said or did for over 5 years. And still can't bring yourselves to speak out against him.
