Pelosi vs. the judge in the Chauvin case regarding Rep. Maxine Waters’ comments: 
Also your periodic reminder that Waters is, somehow, a committee chair. If she were of the opposite party, seems pretty obvious she would have lost at least that chairmanship by now.
The party that is supposedly desecrating norms and institutions stripped a member of his committees for a dumb, racist remark.
How will the supposed adults in the room respond to a member of leadership undermining justice in a high-profile case?

We’re living through a moment full of enormous, often consequential stupidity. But Rep. Waters’ comments very obviously cross a line even considering that. And this is *before* we even consider what actual violence could result from her comments.
The GOP should immediately move to censure her and strip her of her committee title - if not of her committee assignments more broadly or expel her from the House all together.
What she did was unbelievably egregious. And obviously Pelosi doesn’t care.

Dems made clear with the MTG case that there should be a higher bar for the conduct of a member of Congress. Fine.
In what universe is any of Taylor-Greene’s idiocy anywhere near as bad, as consequential, or as unbecoming as this?

This situation boils my blood. Nothing could be more archetypical politician than whipping up a mob to destroy stuff that isn’t yours while you avoid any consequences and instead use the situation to message to your base.
It’s shameful. Repugnant.

@RepMaxineWaters will escape consequences for this. You know who won’t?
Local business owners and cops in Minneapolis (and beyond). Both Chauvin and George Floyd’s families, who are watching the odds that they get justice evaporate. Our body politic, torn apart by racial hatred.

Real people will pay for her vanity project. And Waters simply doesn’t give a shit. Democratic leadership in Congress doesn’t, either. They’re all too content to watch everyone else suffer for their selfishness.
