Mike Johnson Goes Full Sen. Kennedy in Response to Mad Maxine's Latest Round of LA Riots Gaslighting

If there's one thing Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is really good at, it's being an apologist for rioters. I mean, she was an apologist for rioters before it was "cool" to do so, with one infamous statement that comes to mind being what she said during the 1992 Rodney King riots in Los Angeles.

As videos played on TV of entire communities being destroyed by "peaceful protesters," and after millions of Americans watched the racially-motivated brutal beating of trucker Reginald Denny by South Central LA neighborhood mobs, Waters defended the rioters and looters, stating that "There were mothers who took this as an opportunity to take some milk, to take some bread, to take some shoes. Maybe they shouldn’t have done it, but the atmosphere was such that they did it. They are not crooks."
And in making more excuses for the rioters, Waters went on to say at the time that "If you call it a riot, it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable. So I call it a rebellion."

Not surprisingly, she's at it again, with the latest example being what she's repeatedly told people about the situation in Los Angeles County over the last few days.
As RedState's Nick Arama previously reported, Waters was on CNN Monday, where she took issue with how the LAPD had described the rioting, which included throwing heavy rocks at law enforcement and setting cars on fire, as "disgusting" and out of control to the extent that it was "overwhelming" officers.
"I was surprised at the way the police chief was describing all of this. There's been no violence where anyone who was protesting hit anybody, shot anybody, threatened anybody," Waters astonishingly proclaimed during the telephone interview. "Nothing has happened!"

Amazingly, she's still at it on Tuesday, declaring during a Democrat press conference that people shouldn't see what they're seeing with their own eyes:
"And even those who were out of step with what we are advocating - peaceful protest - did not create any violence. Nobody was shot, nobody was killed, get it in your head. And so, when martial law is called, what are you going to say? I missed the point. Don't miss the point, you all. Don't think that somehow, because they called out the National Guard, there was violence. There was no violence. I was on the street, I know, and I went from downtown detention back out into the community, talking to people. What happened in Paramount, what happened in Compton, what happened in Englewood. So, first of all, get it straight, and don't just rely on what you're being told on the few incidents that you saw."
Because "nobody was shot, nobody was killed," there apparently was no violence, y'all. Except as it related to those "few incidents" she vaguely mentioned towards the end of her statement in a throwaway line.
