House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says that Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) doesn’t have to apologize for comments calling on protesters to “get more confrontational” over the weekend should an acquittal be handed down for a former Minneapolis police officer over the death of George Floyd, and sought to defend her colleague.
In response to a reporter’s question on whether Waters should apologize for the remarks, Pelosi said no. “Maxine talked about confrontation in the manner of the civil rights movement,” she said.
