 “I believe in peaceful protest. It is guaranteed to you in a democracy,” she added. 
  
 Waters said her remarks, made Saturday at a Los Angeles rally, stemmed from frustration over the Trump administration’s practice of separating families at the southern border. 
  
 “For these members of his Cabinet who remain and try to defend him, they're not going to be able to go to a restaurant, they're not going to be able to stop at a gas station, they're not going to be able to shop at a department store, the people are going to turn on them, they're going to protest, they're going to absolutely harass them until they decide that they're going to tell the president ‘No, I can't hang with you, this is wrong, this is unconscionable and we can't keep doing this to children,’ ” she said. 
  
 Her comments came one day after White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was refused service at a Virginia restaurant. The owner cited Sanders’s support for Trump’s policies in asking her to leave. 
  
 “I did not create that, I did not design that, but I support their right to protest,” Waters said of the incident. 
  
 Trump took aim at Waters early Monday, tweeting that she “has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement,” Trump tweeted. “Be careful what you wish for Max!” 
  
 Waters disputed that she talked about physically harming his supporters. 
  
 “Trump is the one who is creating lies, trying to have people believe that I talked about harming people. There’s nowhere in my statement anytime, any place that we talked about harm,” she said. 
  
 “Protest is about peaceful resistance to the kind of actions that we are experiencing from this president,” she added. 
  
 Democrats on Monday largely sought to tamp down the furor over Waters’s remarks.

Maxine Waters pushed back against President Donald Trump on Monday, saying she wasn't calling for people to "harm" his supporters, as he tweeted earlier in the day, but to publicly protest his Cabinet members. 
  
 "I believe in peaceful, very peaceful protests," she told reporters on Capitol Hill. "I have not called for the harm of anybody. This President has lied again when he's saying that I've called for harm." 
  
 The Democratic congresswoman from California returned to Washington on Monday amid a heated debate over her comments from the weekend, when she encouraged people to keep pushing back on members of Trump's administration in public spaces, like restaurants, department stores and gas stations. 
  
 Her comments, fueled by frustration over migrant families separated at the border, came at the end of a week when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was heckled by activists at a restaurant in Washington, DC, and White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was asked to leave a restaurant in Virginia 
  
 "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 tweeted earlier on Monday 
  
 Waters' remarks prompted criticism from Democratic leaders Monday, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who tweeted an article about Waters and wrote that Trump's "daily lack of civility has provoked responses that are predictable but unacceptable." 
  
 "As we go forward, we must conduct elections in a way that achieves unity from sea to shining sea," Pelosi's tweet said. 
  
 Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, in a speech on the Senate floor, said, "I strongly disagree with those who advocate harassing folks if they don't agree with you." 
  
 "If you disagree with a politician, organize your fellow citizens to action and vote them out of office," he added. "But no one should call for the harassment of political opponents. That's not right. That's not American." 
  
 Waters, however, rejected the notion that Democrats have been critical of her comments. "They have not been," she flatly told reporters when asked about the criticism. 
  
 "Don't put this on Nancy Pelosi," she continued. "Don't put this on anybody. Put it on Trump. Trump is the one who's creating lies, trying to have people believe that I talked about harming people. There is nowhere in my statement -- any time, any place -- that I talked about harm." 
  
 Rather, she argued, "our members of the Democratic caucus are talking about civility." 
  
 "But protest is civility," she added. "Protest is about peaceful resistance to the kind of actions that we are experiencing." 
  
 Pressed on whether she supported the idea of kicking someone like Sanders out of a restaurant, Waters said she supports "their right to protest." 
  
 "I have nothing to do with the way people decide to protest," she said. "I have no way of telling people how to protest, what they should protest. Again, it started with the restauranteur, it started with people in a restaurant. I did not create that, I did not design that, but I support their right to protest." 
  
 Waters described the attention around her comments as a distraction designed by the President. "Let's not get diverted as the president is capable of doing, of diverting us from the real issue. This issue is not Maxine Waters. This issue is the children." 
  
 She predicted the protests would stop when families were swiftly reunited at the border. 
  
 "I stand by my speech in saying that the protests have already started, they're probably going to continue, but the way to deal with all of this is simply to come up with a credible plan." 
  
 The President signed an executive order last week aimed at keeping families together after outrage over his administration's new policy of referring all adults caught crossing the border illegally for prosecution -- a decision that resulted in more 2,500 children being separated from their parents while the adults were detained. ||||| Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party.

Rep. Maxine Waters fired back at President Trump on on Monday, saying the president "lied again" when he claimed she called for harm to his supporters. Waters said that when she called for the public to confront members of the Trump administration, she was calling for peaceful protests, CNN reports. "I believe in peaceful, very peaceful protests," the Democrat said. "I have not called for the harm of anybody." In a tweet earlier Monday, Trump slammed Waters as an "extraordinarily low IQ person" and told her to be careful what she wished for. She was more gently admonished by leading Democrats, with Nancy Pelosi calling for people to act in a way that promotes unity and Chuck Schumer saying it was wrong to call for the "harassment of political opponents." Waters said her remarks at a rally in California on Saturday came from anger at the policy of separating families at the border, the Hill reports. She said fellow Democrats had been talking about civility, not directly criticizing her. "Don't put this on Nancy Pelosi," Waters said. "Put it on Trump. Trump is the one who's creating lies, trying to have people believe that I talked about harming people. There is nowhere in my statement—any time, any place—that I talked about harm." She added: "Protest is civility. Protest is about peaceful resistance to the kind of actions that we are experiencing." (On Monday, Trump also strongly criticized the "filthy" Virginia restaurant that refused to serve White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.)
