People were shocked in June 2018 when Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), unable to hide her contempt for President Donald Trump or anyone associated with him, urged her supporters to harass Trump administration Cabinet officials. “And 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,” she railed, “you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

By today’s standards, Waters’ rhetoric sounds almost tame.
