Waters should step down and apologize for her egregious and dangerous comments.<\/p>\n<p><em>Michael Pravica<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Manhattan<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it amazing that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave Waters a pass, but she was so proud to initiate impeachment charges against former President Donald Trump for saying far less on Jan. 6?<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi is a fraud who should have retired years ago. The American people must demand and start a movement in this country for term limits. That\u2019s the only way we\u2019ll be able to restore confidence in our government. <\/p>\n<p><em>Ron Tipa<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sunny Isles Beach, Fla.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We need to get rid of these politicians who continue to divide our country. Waters is one of many politicians who is doing this in Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>She needs to stay out of Minnesota and let our judicial process continue without encouraging violence.<\/p>\n<p>How about Waters going back to California to help with the vast homeless situation in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other areas of the state? Then maybe she would have the respect of the people of California for doing something good and positive.<\/p>\n<p>The great Martin Luther King Jr. would be very saddened and dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointed by what is going on in our country today.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Meyers<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Neptune City, NJ<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Derek Chauvin\u2019s trial exposes another case of hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<p>Waters knows, and we know, what she meant by her advice to \u201cget more confrontational.\u201d The Chauvin trial judge also knows what she intended, based on his comment during closing remarks.<\/p>\n<p>How does her rhetoric differ from comments by Trump that resulted in charges of incitement on Jan. 6 and a second impeachment attempt?<\/p>\n<p>Waters\u2019 words leave absolutely no doubt, especially in light of her past comments.

Despicable. <\/p>\n<p><em>David Perez<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Brooklyn<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s amazing how hypocritical the Democrats can be.<\/p>\n<p>When Trump implored his followers to fight on, it was meant in a rhetorical way. He did not tell them to riot and create havoc. Instead, he told the crowd to march peacefully to the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>For saying this, he was branded a traitor and evil incarnate, and if they could, they would have drawn and quartered him.<\/p>\n<p>Yet when Waters calls for civil disobedience over the George Floyd trial, not a word is uttered by the left. All is good in the eyes of these hypocrites.<\/p>\n<p>Should George Floyd have died? Unquestionably not. But it would serve the Democrats right if a mistrial is declared due to the meddling and incendiary Waters. <\/p>\n<p><em>Alan Brooks<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Brooklyn<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Is there no outrageous statement or conduct that Waters can promote that will prompt her colleagues to censure her \u2014 or even arrange for her to resign \u2014 for the good of the party?<\/p>\n<p>This woman is a disgrace to the office she holds and an embarrassment to her party and the people who elected her.<\/p>\n<p>She is, however, an excellent rabble-rouser and hate-mongering gadfly.<\/p>\n<p><em>Shel Townsend<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Glen Cove<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to weigh in on today\u2019s stories?
