“Joe Biden decides Maxine WatersMaxine Moore WatersWhite House prepares Chauvin McCarthy’s verdict to introduce a resolution to censure Waters House McClain, of the Republican Party, responds to Pelosi who calls her “that woman” MORE “He shouldn’t be the only politician who foolishly offers grounds for a lawsuit or a possible ground of appeal to challenge any conviction,” Cruz said in a tweet Tuesday afternoon.

Representative Maxine Waters (D-California), during a rally for racial justice in Minnesota over the weekend, said “we need to be more confrontational” when it comes to fighting systemic racism in the police and demanding justice for blacks abused or murdered by the police.

Republicans expressed outrage in response to Waters’ statements and House minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-California) plans to file a motion to censure Waters for his comments.

After sending deliberations to the jury, trial judge Chauvin on Monday lashed out at lawmakers in general following Waters’ comments.

“I would like elected officials to stop talking about this case, especially in a way that does not respect the rule of law and the judiciary and our function,” Hennepin County District Judge said Monday , Peter Cahill. “If they want to have an opinion, they should do so … in a way that is consistent with their oath in the Constitution.”

White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Tuesday that Biden was not trying to get ahead of the verdict.

“The president has been watching the trial closely, as many Americans have been. Yesterday he was also moved by his conversations with the family “, said Psaki during the daily information session.

“The jury is kidnapped, which is why he has talked about it, but I hope it weighs more once a verdict has been reached,” he added.

Several major cities across the country are preparing the public’s reaction to the verdict in the Chauvin case, stepping up security and, in some cases, convening the National Guard as a precaution.

The video of Floyd’s death sparked massive protests last summer. And while most of the protests remained peaceful, some deteriorated and turned into riots, looting and clashes between law enforcement and protesters.

Last week, Biden said he supported peaceful protests following the deadly shooting of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old black man who died earlier this month.

Still, the president said there was “absolutely no justification” for the riots or violence.

“His position is that there is room for a peaceful protest,” Psaki said Tuesday when asked about the public’s reaction to the verdict in the Chauvin trial. “That will be your point of view regardless of the outcome.”
