Trump responds to Dem lawmaker who called on people to confront admin officials: 'Be careful what you wish for'
BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 06/25/18 01:21 PM EDT
President Trump on Monday responded to Rep. Maxine Waters' (D-Calif.) call for supporters to confront administration officials in public, saying the congresswoman should be careful what she wishes for.

Waters on Saturday called on supporters to confront Trump Cabinet officials in public spaces like restaurants and department stores to protest the administration's policies.
"For these members of his Cabinet who remain and try to defend him, they're not going to be able to go to a restaurant. They're not going to be able to stop at a gas station. They're not going to be able to shop at a department store," Waters said at a rally in Los Angeles. "The people are going to turn on them. They're going to protest. They're going to absolutely harass them until they decide that they're going to tell the president, 'No I can't hang with you -- this is wrong, this is unconscionable, and we can't keep doing this to children.'"
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called for unity in a tweet, which included a CNN article about Waters' comments, in a tweet on Monday.

(13,468 posts)He hates Pelosi as much as he hates anyone, but it was Waters who he referred to as being "Low IQ". He is so stupid he's obvious.

(47,770 posts)It is always so obvious when he calls Waters "Low I.Q." and his base knows exactly what he means.

Trump is a Hitler wannabee.
All who help him are part of the 3rd Reich.
We've seen this movie before, and it doesn't end well.
Better to stop the show now.
Nancy our "leader" can play good cop. That's fine.
I have a sign on the back of my car that says "Republicans Serve Satan".
Screw 'em.

(22,222 posts)no excuses. These people should be made to understand the negative consequences of doing business w/ rump. Not one dollar's worth of business should flow towards rump and the like.
And by the way, doesn't rump's tweet sound like a veiled threat against a sitting member of congress? The FBI should be alerted.
