Maxine Waters asking BLM to amp up ‘confrontations’ amid Chauvin trial, still active on Facebook and Twitter while Trump is not

Videos of Rep. Maxine Waters calling on Black Lives Matter protesters to become “more confrontational” are circulating on both Twitter and Facebook despite the tech giants banning the promotion of violence and stripping former President Donald Trump of his accounts for comments they deemed incited an insurrection.
