Rep. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday that Rep. Maxine Waters' call for people to harass Trump staffers as a way of retaliation against the president's administration "crossed a clear line."
DeSantis (R-Fla.) said Waters' remarks were inciting people to violence, and he added that he and his colleagues are working to censure her in the House and ask for her resignation.
Waters (D-Calif.) made the remarks Saturday on MSNBC, expressing the hope that Trump officials won't "be able to go to a restaurant" or "stop at a gas station," and that people are going to "turn on them."
"I think the hard left in this country is just totally off the rails," DeSantis said on "America's Newsroom." "Maxine Waters is really the pied piper for the unhinged left."

I laughed out loud at the notion that Maxine Waters is "hard left"
So while I agree with you that both sides have their warts, please get back to me when top Republican leaders like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnel start calling out Trump the same way.
There are others.. I will give you that Ryan and McConnell have been a bit guarded in their remarks since Trump won.. I understand that they need to try to show some kind of united front as Republicans for fear of losing absolutely everything in the next election cycle.. most of them were much more open and honest during the campaign..
The only one more spineless than Paul Ryan is Ted Cruz.
Imagine someone publicly calling your wife ugly and threatening to tell people about her mental breakdown, and then bending over backwards for the guy.
I'm not actually saying that I don't understand it. I mean at first, even most Republicans thought such a vile human being as Trump would ever win the nomination. It was much easier to call him out at that point.
Now that he's been elected, and for some strange reason the Republican base has evolved into something I never dreamed possible, it's made it very difficult for any of them to speak out regarding Trump.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
When a guy like George Will uses the word 'invertebrate' as an adjective to describe GOP lawmakers, we've pretty much been told the long and short of the entire bunch.
Courage to stand up to this bullying, bellicose babboon is being displayed by only those outside the beltway and those about to leave it.
The GOP's own strategy has led them to this point. They fanned the flames of nationalism for 40 years, and are now incapable of controlling the Frankenstein's monster they created.
Honest question here bro. Was she asked to leave because nobody liked her, or because she liked Trump???? I really have not kept up enough on this to know.

One in the same.
When you spend your days lying pathologically in the service of a creepy racist, you shouldn't have expectations of being liked or welcomed by decent people.
"No, it's because she lies pathologically in the service of bigotry, and has been the face and mouthpiece for kidnapping children and putting them in concentration camps."
You know as well as the rest of us that the Left has lost its power with the election of Trump and the Republicans.
They will stop at nothing to get it back, even if it means bringing down the President, disrupting his Cabinet, labeling Trumps supporters as Racists and Nazis or even bring down America itself.
40: Just because I regurgitate white supremacy propaganda about white people being phased out and post tribute videos to a racist septuagenarian does NOT make me racist

They are the Unhinged Left.
I'm so happy to be part of the unhinged left reeking havoc on trumpian snowflakes, causing nightmares of returning normalcy to American Values and Morality. Count me in twice, three times even!
One time 40 had a "YOU, sir, are just MEAN!" hissy fit when someone was making fun of Trump's wig. He and Diam also got the vapors when a third-rate comedian made a joke about Sarah Sanders being a liar at a dinner party.
Trump enthusiasts are all incredibly thin-skinned and will fill their diapers at the tamest of things. There's not really any point in trying not to hurt their feelings, as they'll just manufacture another grievance to cry about.
Much like Trump, they all deluded themselves into thinking that the election win would somehow earn them a status of respect, and when it didn't happen, they doubled-down on crying about people being mean to them.
You're absolutely right... there would be an uproar. Just like there's an uproar now.
It's not like folks on the R team aren't clutching their pearls and murmuring their "I do declare's"
It's now the age of offense.
I spent 50 of my 61 years taking the high road... only to watch lowlifes continually take advantage of my restraint and decorum. They mistook my manners for weakness. And the moment I give in the manner as I've received... the snowflakes start melting.
I know you well enough to know your feelings on such things. I know of your neighbors and how well you all relate, so this is a reply to you, while not an address to you.
It would be nice to be allowed this every once in awhile. I was already raised to the adage: "You ust hold yourself to standards that are twice as high to be considered half as equal."
Sometimes, even the best-behaved citizens need to (at east figuratively) punch someone back. Hard. In the mouth.
The owner of a restaurant in Virginia who asked White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave her establishment on Friday night followed Sanders' family across the street to "harass" them at the other restaurant they went to, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee told conservative television and radio talk show host Laura Ingraham on her radio show Monday...
If she was gay and wanted a cake, there would be an uproar.
The extremely hypocritical left makes me want to vote R even though I can't stand Trump.
guess you like no net neutrality, taxes on interwebs, throttling ISPs, elimination of pre-existing conditions coverage, cuts to social services, tax breaks for the rich, paying for a stupid wall, jack crap for infrastructure while the military get another ton of money; cuts to medicaid medicare and social security; having your government kidnap brown babies for political gain...?
My advice will probably not be appreciated, but I believe that you should never become what you hate. They win if you behave as they do.
I'd say it's cool to punch them in the face in person, but on a message board or other such venues, you can't win that fight. Take the higher road, bro.

Aw, poor Mike Huckabee is crying more than the dog his kid tortured and killed.

Pretty sure that ain't you sister.
Dude. Trump has screwed me over 5 ways from hell and I don't agree with most of what he has done. But I don't agree with harassing people just because of who they work for. Or for any reason really.
There are no good excuses for being a bully and harassing people.
If you have an issue then go to vote about it. Preach about it.
But don't hurt others about it.
If liberals were sooooo passionate about this then why didn't they show up at the polls? Instead you put forth hate? About an outcome you could have prevented?
