Asked what protesters should do as she appeared on camera, Waters said: "We've got to stay on the street, and we've got to get more active. We've got to get more confrontational. We've got to make sure that they know that we mean business." The House minority leader was one of several GOP lawmakers to express outrage at the Democratic congresswoman's comments. "Maxine Waters is inciting violence in Minneapolis — just as she has incited it in the past," Rep. McCarthy tweeted. "If Speaker Pelosi doesn't act against this dangerous rhetoric, I will bring action this week."
