Democratic Representative Maxine Waters of California has raised concerns about potential violence from right-wing groups associated with former President Trump in the event of a Biden victory in the November election.
During an appearance on MSNBC’s "The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart," Waters urged caution and called for preemptive measures by Biden and the Justice Department to prevent such violence.
She emphasized the importance of transparency regarding plans to protect the country from violence, especially in light of Trump's statements suggesting unrest if he loses. Waters criticized Trump for his refusal to accept the results of the previous election and his alarming rhetoric about potential violence and unrest. She called for serious consideration of Trump's words, describing him as a threat to democracy and someone who desires dictatorial power.
Waters’ remarks highlighted the need to understand and counter potential threats posed by extremist groups linked to Trump. Her statements underscored the gravity of the situation and the need for proactive measures to safeguard against violence and unrest.
