Democratic Representative Maxine Waters claims supporters of President Donald Trump would like to see “a civil war in this country.”
During an interview on MSNBC, Waters said:
“This is a very difficult time for Democrats, for this country.”
“Of course, we have Republicans who are basically following Trump and the kind of division that he’s causing among not only people of color but the kind of divisions he’s causing between the so-called haves and the have nots.”
She continued:
“What everybody better understand is this democracy is at stake."

"These domestic terrorists are organizing,” she said.
“The president is helping them in the way he speaks to them, the way that he encourages them. And so, we’re in for it,” Waters added.
“People are better understand that democracy is being damaged and undermined.”
“I believe that they would like to see a civil war in this country,” Waters continued.
“I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me but don’t forget I talked about this president long ago when he was first inaugurated.”
“I said that he was going to be dangerous, he was going to be troublesome, and he was going to be undermining the democracy as he aligned himself with Putin and others who are dictators.
"That is what he wants to be," Waters added.

Earlier this week, Waters accused members of her own party of being racist for not supporting far-left measures being pushed by the Democrats.
“They have sent the signal. They have been clear about it,” Waters said.
“They don’t care about minorities. They don’t care about blacks,” Waters declared.
“They don’t care about people in their own districts who they’re going to deny their voting rights and undermine their voting rights,” Waters added.
“I must always be optimistic. But this is a very difficult time for Democrats.”
As Fox News reported, the filibuster is an “action designed to prolong debate and delay or prevent a vote on a bill,” according to the Senate rules.
The only way to break the maneuver is through cloture, which requires 60 votes.
Of the 100 seats in the Senate, Republicans have 50, and Democrats currently have 48 seats, not including two Independents who caucus with the Democrats.
This political makeup has caused some stalemates to the Democratic agenda.
