Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) released a scathing statement blaming the Trump administration for the release of a suspect that had threatened to kill politicians, saying that Democrats needed to protect themselves instead. "Outrage!" Waters tweeted from her official social media account Friday.
"Judge Day ordered release of a white supremacist who threatened to kill me, Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, Rep. AOC, Rep. Omar, pres candidates, & journalists! 15 guns found in his home & he has ties to other neo-Nazis," she continued. "Why is Barr silent? What must we do?"
