Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) has claimed that former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric on “revenge” following his conviction will spark a civil war.
During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Saturday Show,” Host Jonathan Capehart said, “Congresswoman Waters, your name has been invoked several times. We will give you the last word. What do you think?”
Waters said:
“Let me say when I tweeted about Trump talking about the Constitution, I basically said in my tweet that he had disregarded the Constitution he doesn’t have ant respect for the Constitution, I got over a million hits on that.”
“I think the American people see through him and, they will be guarded in how they deal with the election.”

She continued:
“Let me just say this, I am worried that he is so divisive and that he is talking about retribution and about revenge and I think that is dangerous. He has even mentioned civil war saying there will be bloodshed.”
“I will spend some time with the criminal justice system, with the justice system asking them, tell us what’s going on with the domestic terrorists?”
“Are they Preparing a civil war against us? Should we be concerned? What is he doing with this divisive language? It is dangerous.”
Waters added:
“It is not just that he is a criminal, this is a man who disrespects the Constitution and democracy and we have to figure out what they are doing as domestic terrorists tried to take over the government January 6, how far is this going to go? Are they going to be attacking?”
Last month, Waters faced backlash after her reaction to Trump’s criminal conviction.
“Trump shut your mouth!” Waters posted on X following Trump’s conviction.
“You talk about saving the Constitution? You’re the one who has disrespected the Constitution and you have supporters who believe we should get rid of the Constitution! Just shut your mouth, you’re convicted on all counts!”
The post received over 1.8 million views on X and ignited immediate pushback from conservatives.
“These people are mentally ill,” radio host Mike Sperrazza posted on X. “TDS is real.”
“Such ugliness and I bet it goes all the way to the bone,” author Juanita Broaddrick posted on X.
“This woman is a corrupt criminal who has laundered over a million dollars in campaign cash to her daughter,” Red State writer Bonchie posted on X.
