    33 months in prison and 10,000 fine is NOT enough. This should be a hate crime and he should be locked away in federal prison for 15 years without the possibility of parole.

    These are the same people who claim racism doesn’t exist.
  • @mako9673
    When you don't have arguments, you use violence and threats.
  • This woman is a fighter and a patriot. Been doing the work for years. PROTECT AUNTIE MAXINE!
  • @kagreen2k
    I stand with you Congresswoman Waters! ❤
  • @mitsumeeshi
    This is just horrible. Racist murderous threats. Harassment. And I don't understand how he only gets 33 months in prison for that.
  • If someone plots a bank robbery their prosecuted as if the robbery was successful. Why did this person only get 33 months?
  • Especially after what was done to Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul. I'm glad Rep Maxine Waters takes those threats seriously, it's no joke. It's important for us all to stay alert aka stay woke!
  • @bhambhole
    Violent threats are absolutely unacceptable. That is not an appropriate way to express grievances to government officials or speak to any other human being.
  • I would like to thank Representative Waters for her courage. Vote blue. 💙💙💙
  • @HiltonHoskins
    Auntie Maxine, thank you! We must not submit to fear! We all need your strength! Thank you again for being a blessing to all of us! 🫡👏🏿🤝🏿🙏🏿🌹❤️

    All I can hope for is that there are more of us in this nation who are for decency, democracy and civility come this November.
