LAL #012 — Maxine Waters' Assault on Fair Trials

<p>U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters traveled from Washington, D.C., to suburban Minnesota last weekend to attend a rally related to the police shooting of Daunte Wright. </p> <p>She didn't need an investigation to conclude that this was yet more evidence on America's war on men of color. She couldn't sleep, she was so upset.<br /> <br /> And she had a message for the jurors in the Derek Chauvin trial: If we don't hear "guilty, guilty, guilty," there's trouble coming. What's that mean, Maxine? <br /> <br /> Want evidence that we're rapidly becoming a failed state? Look no further than Mean Maxine.  A veteran lawmaker now travels outside her district to engage in incendiary rhetoric during a jury trial. Nice. <br /> <br /> Her comments won't get her charged with jury tampering. They weren't that. And they weren't criminal incitement or threatening. She had every right to utter what she did.<br /> <br /> But I am as troubled by what she did, indeed, more troubled, than by almost anything that I saw of the January 6, 2021, events in Washington, D.C. Her colleagues in the House should remove her from office for the simple reason that she doesn't share a commitment to common core values, such as the right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence.<br /> <br /> It's time to send this 30-year veteran of Congress packing. But, instead, she'll likely be crowned a woke saint.<br /> <br /> Here's her office telephone number in D.C: 202.225.2201. </p> <p>At a minimum, give her a call and ask her to resign. She won't, but someone needs to rain on this nitwit's parade. It may as well be you.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href= "https://anchor.fm/norm-pattis/support" rel= "payment">https://anchor.fm/norm-pattis/support</a>
