“#White House distances itself from Maxine Waters’ comments<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The White House on Monday app<\/a>eared to distance itself from House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters for telling racial justice protesters to \u201cget more confrontational\u201d if Derek Chauvin is acquitted in George Floyd\u2019s murder trial.<\/p>\n

President Biden believes \u201cprotests must be peaceful,\u201d White House press secretary Jen Psaki said when asked about the comments by Waters (D-Calif.).<\/p>\n

\u201cWell I can speak to the president\u2019s view, he has been very clear that he recognizes the issue of police violence against people of color, communities of color is one of great anguish and it\u2019s exhausting and quite emotional at times,\u201d Psaki began.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis view is also that exercising First Amendment rights and protesting injustice is the most American thing that anyone can do,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut as he also always says, protests must be peaceful. That\u2019s what he continues to call for and when he continues to believe is the right way to approach responding.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Waters joined hundreds of protesters in Brooklyn Center, Minn., demonstrating against the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old black man shot by a white police officer who thought she was pulling out her Taser.<\/p>\n

The suspect, former officer Kim Potter, has since been charged with second-degree manslaughter.<\/p>\n

The city of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota were already on edge in the wake of the Chauvin trial. <\/p>\n

The California lawmaker told the crowd at what was the seventh night of demonstrations after Wright\u2019s killing, \u201cWe\u2019ve got to stay in the streets, and we\u2019ve got to demand justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking for a guilty verdict,\u201d she continued, referring to Chauvin. \u201cAnd we\u2019re looking to see if all of the talk that took place and has been taking place after they saw what happened to George Floyd. If nothing does not happen, then we know that we got to not only stay in the street, but we have got to fight for justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waters went on to say that she was \u201chopeful\u201d that Chauvin would be convicted, \u201cand if we don\u2019t [get the verdict], we cannot go away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if that meant a manslaughter conviction, but a murder acquittal, would be adequate, Waters said no.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh no, not manslaughter, no no,\u201d she remarked. \u201cThis is guilty for murder. I don\u2019t know if it was in the first degree, but as far as I\u2019m concerned, it\u2019s first-degree murder.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for what the protesters should do if they don\u2019t get the verdict they want, Waters said, \u201cWe got to stay on the street. And we\u2019ve got to get more active, we\u2019ve got to get more confrontational. We\u2019ve got to make sure that they know that we mean business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Curfew means \u2018I want you all to stop talking. I want you to stop meeting. I want you to stop gathering.\u2019 I don\u2019t agree with that.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
