Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Republicans target her as an “uppity” black woman to fundraise.

Waters said, “We’ve got to stay active, get more active, more confrontational, make sure that they know we mean business.”

Reacting to Derek Chauvin’s conviction for the murder of George Floyd, Waters said, “I have fought this for many, many years. I have been engaged for many years, and you mentioned Rodney King. Yes, that was another special time when we saw him beaten, I mean, literally beaten, and then we were told we could not believe our own eyes, and we did not get justice. So today is very special. Something very special has happened.”

She continued, “I’m criticized all the time, and of course, the Republicans make a target of me. As you know, I am passionate on these issues, having lived with them so long, having seen so much injustice. So I’m delighted that we have the verdict that we got today. I could not believe it, but it is absolutely true.”
