Maxine Waters Claims Trump ‘Connected’ Organizations Have Training Camps ‘Up in the Hills’ Preparing to Attack If He Loses
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) claimed that right-wing organizations connected to former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump have training camps “up in the hills” preparing to attack if Trump loses the 2024 election during an appearance on MSNBC’s The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.
“Trump says in that in that Time interview interview that he would not seek to overturn or ignore the Constitution’s prohibition on a third term,” noted eponymous host Jonathan Capehart.
“Should the American people believe that? Do you believe that?” he asked.
“No! Absolutely not,” replied Waters emphatically. “As I said, you can’t believe anything that Donald Trump has to say. Donald Trump will do any and everything that he can possibly get away with. He does not at all support the Constitution of the United States of America. This is a man who we better be careful about.”
Then she raised her concern over the supposed training camps:
And I tell you what I’m going to do. I’m going to ask the Justice Department and I’m going to ask the president to tell us what they are going to do to protect this country against violence if he loses. I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that he’s connected with who are training up in the hills somewhere and targeting, you know, what communities they’re going to attack. We need to know now, given that he’s telling us that there’s going to be violence if he loses. We need to know what his plan is and how we’re going to be protected.
During his interview with Time, Trump said he “wouldn’t be in favor” of an effort to challenge the 22nd Amendment and seek a third term.
“I wouldn’t be in favor of it. I wouldn’t be in favor of a challenge. Not for me,” mused Trump. “I wouldn’t be in favor of it at all. I intend to serve four years and do a great job. And I want to bring our country back. I want to put it back on the right track.”
