Democrat California Rep. Maxine Waters told the public on Tuesday that there is “no violence” happening at the wide-scale riots in Los Angeles, California, as rioters light the streets on fire.
Rioters have looted local businesses, burned cars and threw Molotov cocktails and fireworks on the streets of Los Angeles in response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) arrest of illegal immigrants with heinous criminal backgrounds. Waters argued during a House Democrat presser that all the violence that Americans are watching with their own eyes is not actually real, and that these riots are peaceful.
“Even those who were out of step with what we were advocating, [which is] peaceful protest, did not create any violence,” Waters said. “Nobody was shot, nobody was killed. Get it through your head. And so, when martial law is called, what are you gonna say? I missed the point. Don’t miss the point, you all. Don’t think that because somehow because they called out the National Guard, there was violence. There was no violence. I was on the street, I know. And I went from downtown detention back outside into the community, talking to people what happened in Paramount, what happened in Compton, what happened in Englewood.”
