Can Maxine Waters Be Impeached and Removed From Congress Over 'Confrontational' Comments? On 4/20/21 at 2:39 PM EDT The New York Post editorial board on Sunday called for California Democratic Representative Maxine Waters to be "impeached" from office over remarks related to the Derek Chauvin trial, raising the question as to whether or not a member of Congress can be removed this way. In the editorial, the Post accused Waters of "inciting violence" by encouraging her followers to protest and become "more confrontational" if Chauvin – the police officer on trial for killing George Floyd – is not convicted of murder. "We've got to stay in the streets, and we've got to demand justice," Waters said during a rally on Sunday. "We're looking for a guilty verdict. And if we don't, we cannot go away," she added. "We've got to get more confrontational."
