Maxine Waters Adds Exception to Her Trump-Era Rule About Harassing Public Officials in Restaurants

When Donald Trump was in the White House, Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters was among lefties calling for members of his administration to not have a moment of rest from harassment and protest, even if they were eating in restaurants:
Maxine Waters encourages supporters to harass Trump administration officials

The California Democrat and vehement critic of President Donald Trump made the comments on Saturday, first at a rally in Los Angeles and later in a television interview. The comments, which come after several Trump administration officials have been recently protested at restaurants, have raised fresh questions about the state of American political discourse and were seized on by Trump for political gain.
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And 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. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere. We’ve got to get the children connected to their parents,” Waters said at the Wilshire Federal Building, according to video of the event.
Waters is publicly calling on her supporters to physically harass any Trump Administrative official they come across, no matter where, and CNN felt the need to inject "... were seized on by Trump for political gain" into its article. BWHA HA HA HA HA HA!!! No, Trump reasonably complained about it because Waters was inciting harassment in public places that could lead to violence.
BUT, NOW HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED!!!
According to Waters, there should now be an exception to that rule (though the "this should only happen to Republicans" implication in her original harangue wasn't at all vague).
However, when getting confronted in a restaurant happens (so she claims) to Rep. Waters, it's because of racism and is a horrible thing:
End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) ~ Congresswoman Maxine Waters says she is a victim of racist attacks:
"They don't say racist things, but they do say that they don't like something I said."

ROTFLMAO! So, Maxine ... if ANYONE expresses an opinion that disagrees with yours, then they are necessarily an "evil racist," eh? Maxine be like, "HOW DARE THE COMMONERS OUT THERE DISAGREE WITH ME!!!"
Well, how the tables have turned!
Dan O'Donnell (@DanODonnellShow) ~ In 2018, Congresswoman Maxine Waters demanded that mobs confront President Trump's cabinet members in restaurants to tell them "they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."
In 2024, she thinks it's racist that someone came up to her in a restaurant and gently criticized her.
Well, Maxine is a pathetic wuss.
Things have come a long way since Waters' call to protest anywhere and everywhere a few years ago:
Mike LaChance (@MikeLaChance33) ~ “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, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” -Maxine Waters in 2018
The Democrat mantra ~ "Rules for thee, but not for me."[/color]
Dems like Waters couldn't make it more clear that they expect there to be two sets of rules and for everyone to follow them.
Chaya Raichik (@ChayaRaichik10) ~ Can dish it, but can’t take it.
Guy Benson (@guypbenson) ~ Get in the faces of public officials!!! Wait, not MINE!!! That’s racist!
And of course a grand total of ZERO reporters will confront Waters with her own words from the Trump years.
