Saw this on Yahoo!. Was redirected from Yahoo! to Maxine Waters Facebook profile page. She claims the Oath Keepers are Far Right extremist Anti American militia that wants to inflame racial tensions in America. Wasn't she the one calling for her supporters to "stand up" to Trump supporters in the streets, department stores, and at restaurants?

"I have been notified that the Oath Keepers, an antigovernment militia that has staged armed protests in cities across the country,
is planning to protest my district office in Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon. I am requesting those individuals and groups planning
a counter-protest to not be baited into confronting the Oath Keepers with any demonstrations in opposition – such an occurrence
would only exacerbate tensions and increase the potential for conflict. The Oath Keepers have a history of engaging in violent and
provocative behavior. The group is known to protest in military-style clothing while carrying various assault weapons.
The Oath Keepers would like nothing more than to inflame racial tensions and create an explosive conflict in our community.
In order to ensure the peace and security of our community, it is best and preferable if no other demonstrations are scheduled
on the same date and time as the Oath Keepers’ planned protest.
As I have stated many times, peaceful protest and civil dissent is the foundation of our democracy. All groups and individuals
have the right to assemble and express their opposition to public officials and public policies – regardless of whether or not it is a
group that shares our values. Nevertheless, because of the Oath Keepers’ history of promoting violence and intimidation, my
primary concern is to maintain the safety and security of the protesters, staff, and constituents of California’s 43rd Congressional
District – a task that would be exceedingly complicated by large crowds of protesters and counter-protesters.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) will have officers and personnel on site tomorrow to ensure safety and security."
