Recently a judge admitted he erred when she granted a motion by Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles, to dismiss a libel and slander lawsuit brought by the Republican she defeated in November 2020.
Plaintiff Joe E. Collins III alleged the 84-year-old Democratic congresswoman’s campaign materials and radio commercials falsely stated that the Navy veteran was dishonorably discharged. But Collins revealed he served honorably for 13 1/2 years in the Navy, receiving decorations and commendations — falling on deaf ears at the time.
This is not the first time that she has done something this controversial.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy once introduced a resolution to censure Rep. Maxine Waters for comments she made in Minnesota that Republican lawmakers said stoked further violence during the hearing of Derek Chauvin.
“This weekend in Minnesota, Maxine Waters broke the law by violating curfew and then incited violence,”he said on Twitter. “Speaker Pelosi is ignoring Waters’ behavior — that’s why I am introducing a resolution to censure Rep. Waters for these dangerous comments.”
Waters told demonstrators in Brooklyn Center, Minn., where Daunte Wright was killed by ths police officer, “to stay on the street” and “to get more confrontational.” Her remarks came ahead of closing arguments in the trial of Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was charged with murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd.
Republicans were quick to fire back after Waters made her comments With Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) introducing a resolution to expel Waters from Congress.
With the Republicans having a Majority, the petition will pass this time. Fingers crossed.
