Wow. I really did not care about Maxine's comments- I kind of ignored them.
But apparently the judge presiding over the trial of Chauvin did not. He actually said "Even though the judge denied the defense's motion for mistrial, he highlighted the damage her rhetoric may have done, saying "Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned."
Can you imagine how BLM might turn on her if she is responsible for the case being tossed (on appeal.)
