Maxine Waters, Democratic Representative from California, has once again found herself in the spotlight following some explosive comments made during a recent MSNBC interview. Waters did not mince her words as she referred to supporters of ex-President Donald Trump as “domestic terrorists” and hinted at the possibility of them planning a “civil war”.
Throughout the interview, Waters voiced her grave apprehensions about Trump’s rhetoric, describing it as “dangerous” and divisive. She drew attention to his use of language promoting retribution and revenge, arguing that such discourse could incite violence. “I’m worried that he’s so divisive and that he’s talking about retribution, and they’re talking about revenge and I think that that’s dangerous. He’s even mentioned civil war at one point, talked about there would be bloodshed,” she commented.
The remarks by Waters have triggered an array of reactions, with critics accusing her of hypocrisy and incitement. It is worth noting that back in 2018, she had urged public harassment of Trump’s Cabinet members, directing her supporters to confront them wherever they might be – in restaurants, department stores or gas stations.
In the present day scenario however, Waters is intensifying her aggressive stance. She intends to spend time with the criminal justice system seeking answers regarding what she perceives as a mounting threat from Trump supporters. “Tell us what’s going on with the domestic terrorists. Are they preparing a civil war against us? Should we be concerned about our safety?”, she questioned. This escalated rhetoric by Waters leaves many pondering whether we are nearing a new era of political conflict in America.
Furthermore, Waters criticized Trump for his alleged admiration for authoritarian leaders, claiming that he disregards democracy and the Constitution. “He’s in love with Putin and Russia and Kim Jong Un and North Korea and all of that,” she stated. “This is a man who disrespects the Constitution and democracy, and we have got to find out what they’re doing as domestic terrorists tried to take over the government on January 6.”

Her statements have sparked an intense debate. Many accuse her of fear-mongering, stating that she is simply fanning the flames of an already heated political divide. “How far is this going to go?”, Waters wondered. “Are they going to be attacking? Whom are they going to attack? What are we going to do?”
