This is Shapiro so obviously biased but the story is the tweets in the article.
Democrats Erupt In Anger At Fake Maxine Waters Quote
Someone posted a quote attributed to Maxine Waters.
New York Lieutenant Gov. Kathy Hochul wrote:
All of the statements were proper and accurate. I think the quote attributed to Waters was absolutely over the line and disgusting.
The quote attributed to Waters encouraging people to do this to Cuomo people was fake.
But as you probably know, she said it for real a while back but said it about Trump instead of Cuomo.
I'm sure there are people who see this is as "own the libs". I think that's way too short sighted.
I see this 100% as we all can be biased and we all can be better. Lots better. And by "better", I think it's mostly more objective and less tribal.
Democrats Erupt In Anger At Fake Maxine Waters Quote
Someone posted a quote attributed to Maxine Waters.
“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.”
New York Lieutenant Gov. Kathy Hochul wrote:
Former Pete Buttigieg adviser Lis Smith wrote:“This is encouraging violence against public officials – plain & simple. Absolutely disgusting. No tolerance for this. Haven’t we learned the lessons from Washington D.C. just weeks ago?”
Plus lots more similarly condemning the quote saying it was dangerous and encouraging violence.“Way way way over the line. Especially in light of what happened at the Capitol on Jan 6.”
