On Saturday, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) appeared on a local Los Angeles TV show where she was interviewed and talked about what she feels is the state of racism in the US. Waters expressed her belief that the United States is becoming more racist every day.
This was partly in response to a recent speech by Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), in which he flatly stated that "America is not a racist country."
According to the Daily Wire, Waters was asked for a react to Scott's controversial Wednesday speech, and she replied:
"Well, you know, I don’t know if he was counseled to say that or whether he really believes that- If you really believe that, then he has missed not only the history of the country but what is going [on] right now."
"As we watched the invasion of the Capitol on January 6, those people following Trump say they were taking back their government, and they were willing to harm people."
“As a matter of not only were they willing to harm people but Capitol Police, who happened to be people of color, African-American, they were calling them names of the N-word. Every day we have seen this nation get more racist than anybody thought perhaps would be at this point in time."
"We’ve been through the civil rights movement where of course, we made some progress, but this president that we had Trump was taking us backward. He was making racist comments. You know, identify himself with people like the Ku Klux Klan and the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers and QAnon."
"I mean, that is racism defined in the most obvious way, and so to say that this is not a racist country, maybe he meant to say that there are many people who are not racist in this country. But yes, we have a problem with racism."
