Los Angeles, CA – Democratic U.S. Representative Maxine Waters sounded the alarm regarding concerns about potential violent actions by Donald Trump supporters if the presumed Republican candidate were to lose the upcoming presidential election in 2024. Waters shared her apprehensions during an appearance on MSNBC’s The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart, raising doubts about Trump’s credibility and expressing worries about the aftermath of a potential loss for Trump.
During the interview, Waters criticized Trump’s track record of not accepting election results and warned about the possibility of him inciting violence and chaos post-election. She emphasized the need for vigilance and preparation to safeguard against any potential threats or unrest that may arise.
Responding to Trump’s statements in a recent Time interview about abiding by constitutional term limits if re-elected, Waters dismissed the notion, highlighting Trump’s history of disregarding established norms and rules. She underscored the importance of recognizing the potential dangers posed by Trump’s unwillingness to adhere to democratic principles.
Waters also called for increased transparency and accountability from government institutions in addressing the security concerns raised by Trump’s rhetoric and actions. She urged for proactive measures to be taken to protect the country and its citizens from any potential violence or disruptions in the event of an election outcome unfavorable to Trump.
Echoing Waters’ sentiments, Representative Robert Garcia joined the conversation on the MSNBC show, echoing concerns about the ramifications of a potential Trump re-election. Garcia echoed Waters’ warnings about the risks of Trump’s attempts to extend his time in office beyond constitutional limits and the potential consequences for democracy and the country as a whole.
Both Representatives emphasized the gravity of the situation and urged for a united effort to address the challenges posed by Trump’s unsubstantiated claims and alarming declarations. As the 2024 election looms, the need for vigilance and preparedness against any potential threats remains a top priority for lawmakers and officials alike.
