This isn’t the first time Maxine Waters has warned about right-wing violence during and after the election
“There will be blood in the streets” if Trump wins or if he doesn’t, according to Rep. Maxine Waters.
Appearing on MSNBC’s The Saturday Show, Waters said there will be violence and “more killings” whatever the result this November.
Waters, who was appearing to discuss a court case involving a Texas man who allegedly threatened to kill her, was asked whether she was “concerned about her safety” if Trump is re-elected.
“I’m very concerned, not only about my safety and not only about the safety of members of Congress,” Waters said.
“I’m concerned about the safety of so many people in this country, particularly people of color. Donald Trump has said that if he does not win, it is going to be fraud, and because it is going to be fraud, there will be blood in the streets. He threatens about a civil war, and he threatens there’s going to be violence. I would say all of this talk is motivational with many of those who are racist, who are sitting at home listening to him, and they are taking him up on his threats even before the elections take place. It is about thousands, maybe millions of people being threatened and being at risk because of Donald Trump and his desire to seek revenge on anything and everybody.”
Waters went on to say that Trump was responsible for the “killings” that took place on 6 January 2021.
“I do believe having listened to Donald Trump so many times and having the attack, the insurrection that took place on the House of Representatives in Congress, on the Capitol, the Capitol grounds, we could be in for more killings like that. I think Donald Trump has to take responsibility for what he is saying about blood in the streets and violence if he is not elected to be the president of the United States of America.”
Within 36 hours of the 6 January 2021, five people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose and three died of natural causes. Mysteriously, four officers who were present in the Capitol killed themselves within seven months of that day’s events.
This isn’t the first time Waters has warned of violence by Trump supporters during and after the election. In May, she said Trump supporters and “right-wing organizations” are training “up in the hills somewhere” to attack “certain communities,” clearly meaning minorities.
