After condemning Rep. Maxine Waters s confrontational comment, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise brushed off a whataboutism question, pointing to then-President Donald Trump s statements on Jan. 6 ahead of a mob attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“President Trump used the words peaceful when he talked about, you know, the statements that he made, Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, said at a press conference on Tuesday when asked if Waters s comments were on par with Trump s. I haven t heard Maxine saying anything about peacefully protesting. She s talked about violence, Scalise added. Get more confrontational in the streets if the verdict goes the wrong way. There s nothing peaceful about that.

It s so predictable, because women leaders, and especially women of color, are frequent punching bags on Fox. Just ask Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. s
So now during a Republican House Leadership press conference, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise announced that he wants to censor Maxine Waters.
