Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) claimed on Sunday that former President Donald Trump‘s supporters were “training up in the hills somewhere” — and even planning which communities they were “going to attack” — so that they would be ready to engage in violence if he lost his 2024 re-election bid.
Waters joined MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart on “The Sunday Show” to discuss Trump’s recent interview for TIME Magazine, and she said that her plan was to ask President Joe Biden and the Justice Department how they planned to prepare for violence from “right-wing organizations.”

“This is a man who we better be careful about,” Waters warned. “And I tell you what I’m going to do. I’m going to ask the Justice Department, and I’m going to ask the president to tell us what they’re going to do to protect this country against violence if he loses.”
“I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that he’s connected with, who are training up in the hills somewhere and targeting, you know, what communities they’re going to attack,” Waters continued, presenting no evidence to support her claims.
The California congresswoman has made headlines in the past for suggesting that members of the former president’s administration deserved to be accosted in public.
“Already, you have members of your Cabinet that are being booed out of restaurants … who have protesters taking up at their house, who say, ‘No peace, no sleep! No peace, no sleep!'” Waters said, adding, “God is on our side!”
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up and if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” she continued.
