“Rep. Maxine Waters — whatever Maxine says, I agree with,” Biden intoned. In April 2021, Waters was slammed after she encouraged activists to “get more confrontational” on “the street” if Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin was not convicted of murdering George Floyd.
“We’re looking for a guilty verdict. We’re looking for a guilty verdict. And we’re looking to see if all of this [inaudible] that took place and has been taking place after they saw what happened to George Floyd,” Waters said. “If nothing does not happen, then we know that we’ve got to not only stay in the street, but we’ve got to fight for justice, but I am very hopeful and I hope that we’re going to get a verdict that will say guilty, guilty, guilty. And if we don’t, we cannot go away.”
