Paul Ryan BLASTS Maxine Waters for trying to incite “violence, harassment, and intimidation”

by The Right Scoop

This morning Paul Ryan spoke rather forcefully about the comments from Maxine Waters over the weekend where she was trying to incite harassment of Trump’s cabinet members.

Here’s his comments:

Ryan is absolutely right about this. There’s no way Waters shouldn’t be held accountable for this and allowed not to apologize. In fact that’s the minimum. As I said before, Congress should act quickly and censure her. In fact there’s already a bill floating around to do just that, authored by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.):

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) said the California Democrat’s comments do “not become somebody who’s in Congress,” arguing disciplinary action is appropriate.

“So we just introduced it, we have some co-sponsors, but what she did was to basically incite people to come after and attack members of the president’s cabinet,” Biggs told The Hill. “And also spread that out to more people.”

The measure calls on the congresswoman to resign, issue a formal apology to administration officials “for endangering their lives and sowing seeds of discord” and release a statement that neither harassment nor violence is an appropriate form of protest.

Yeah fat chance she’s going to resign.

Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer also ripped Waters on the Senate floor:

Democrats should be the one calling on Waters to resign, but her comments become a reflection on them when they don’t speak out about it forcefully. Chucky’s statement was good, but he should have gone further.
