It’s the tale of two parties. Ferguson, Mo., in 2014, rioters looted, burned this city and Barack Obama said, “Let them get this out of their systems,” and charged them with minor offenses. It lasted for 10 days.

Baltimore, Md., in 2015 looting and fires engulfed this city. Obama said, “I condemn the criminals and thugs.” This went on for 16 days.

Maxine Waters, a sitting Congresswoman, with a bullhorn said, “Seek out Trump cabinet members in a restaurant or in a grocery store, get in their face and push them back,”

On Sunday in Minnesota, Waters, breaking the law by violating curfew (because “she didn’t agree with it”), said that if ex-police officer Derek Chauvin is not found guilty of murdering George Floyd, “We’ve got to get more confrontational.”

There’s been rioting, looting, graffiti — what did Waters mean by “more confrontational”? In Portland, they set fire to an Apple store. They’re trying to take over government buildings.

Of course, she’s not around to see the results. After pouring fuel on the fire in Minnesota, she encouraged everyone to keep protesting — though she herself would not be.
