Dems tricked into slamming Maxine Waters' comments on harassing Trump officials: 'Appalling':

Dozens of New York Democrats were tricked by a troll Twitter account into condemning comments Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters made in 2018 about harassing Trump officials in public.

In June 2018, Ms. Waters notoriously called on her supporters to harass members of the Trump administration in response to its separation of illegal immigrant families at the border, saying, “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.”

On Thursday, a Twitter account by the name @CuomoWatch took the same quote and switched the words “that Cabinet” for “the Cuomo Administration,” referring to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and attributed the quote to the fake name “Maxine CuomoWatch.”

Dozens of Democrats, many of them state lawmakers, denounced the comments as igniting tensions in the wake of the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot. Mr. Cuomo’s senior adviser, Rich Azzopardi, retweeted many of the critical comments. --->READ MORE HERE

Twitter Troll Replaced ‘Trump’ With ‘Cuomo’ In Maxine Waters’ Infamous Call To Violence And Democrats Lost Their Minds:

Blue checkmarks and Democrats took to Twitter on Thursday to condemn a call for violence against Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the people in his administration. The quote in question, however, was actually a call to violence against former President Donald Trump and his supporters from U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., that a Twitter troll account called “Cuomo Watch” satirically modified to say “Cuomo.”

“‘If you see anybody from the Cuomo Administration 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.’ -Maxine CuomoWatch,” the tweet reads.

Soon after the tweet was shared, prominent New York politicians, blue checkmarks, and Democrats in other states took to Twitter to condemn the call to action. --->READ MORE HERE
