President Trump weighed in Monday on Rep. Maxine Waters’ call for business owners and the public to confront Trump supporters and officials in public, warning her to be careful what she wishes for.
Trump said that “low IQ” Waters, D-Calif., was calling for harm to his supporters by telling people to not welcome them in public spaces such as restaurants and retail stores.
“Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!” Trump posted to Twitter.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was asked to leave Red Hen Restaurant in Lexington, Va., Friday night when the owner became aware that she was dining at the small establishment.
A day after the incident, Waters held a rally in which she called for individual citizens to continue forcing Trump officials from retailers and restaurants.
“If you see anybody from the Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, and a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd to push back on them and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” she said.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was run out of a Mexican restaurant last week by socialist protesters after supporting Trump’s zero tolerance policy at the southern border.
