First reported by The Hill, a Republican lawmaker is calling for the resignation of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) after her recent rhetoric encouraging harassment of supporters of President Donald J. Trump.

“[Waters‘ comments] do not become somebody who’s in Congress,” said Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ). “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. And also spread that out to more people.”

Waters has been publicly screeching for days about stepping up the “resistance” against Trump.

“‘And I want to tell you,’ [Waters] said in the interview, ‘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, to be able to stop at a gas station, to be able to shop at a department store. The people are going to turn on them, they’re going to protest, they’re going to absolutely harass them until they tell the president: ‘No, I can’t hang with you.’

On Saturday, Waters has echoed a similar tune during a rally.

‘The American people have put up with this president long enough. What more do we need to see? What more lies do we need to hear?’ she yelled. ‘If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them!’

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielson was chased out of a Mexican restaurant last week, as was senior Trump advisor Stephen Miller. Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was refused service at a Lexington, VA restaurant Saturday.”

BLP Passage Ends.

The censure measure would call for Waters to apologize to the White House, resign, and acknowledge in writing that she was wrong to incite harassment against Trump supporters. It specifically accuses Waters of “endangering their lives and sowing seeds of discord.”

Waters has wanted to impeach Trump since before he was elected. Her rhetoric has only escalated since then, an she shows no signs of slowing. The fact that it took so long to censure her in the first place is a miracle in itself.

Republican lawmakers are doing what is responsible, calling for her to step down before her rhetoric someone causes someone to get injured or killed.

Liberals in San Francisco were immediately triggered Thursday morning by the sight of an impossible-to-miss 25-foot by 80-foot “Pelosi for Prison” banner flying in the spy upon the left-wing stronghold.

I’m flying a #PelosiForPrison banner around @SpeakerPelosi’s district today!

Her lawlessness, ignorance and corruption have gone on for too long!

— DeAnna for Congress🇺🇸vs Nancy (@DeAnna4Congress) February 6, 2020

The banner, paid for by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Republican opponent, DeAnna Lorraine, directs those who see it to a petition, located at PelosiForPrison.co, which calls for Pelosi to be jailed for her “crimes against America.” With the banner coming just a day after President Donald Trump’s acquittal in the Pelosi-driven impeachment hearings, it is a sign that some conservatives are moving off of the defensive, and instead focusing on offensive attacks against left-wing figures like Pelosi.

Speaking with Big League Politics, Lorraine states that the banner was a part of her plan to expose Pelosi’s record while in the Congress, along with her “egregious crimes against America.”

“I am running for Congress to clean out the corruption that is Nancy Pelosi. Instead of caring for the people of
San Francisco and advancing their issues on a national scale, she spends her time conducting asinine
impeachments and investigations that amount to absolutely nothing” said DeAnna. “It’s past time we start
hitting her hard on her record of poor leadership and egregious crimes against America, and I look very much
forward to retiring her in November.”

This banner definitely gets that message across, and surely has Nancy Pelosi shaking with rage.
