"This country was built on peaceful protest," Waters told MSNBC's Chris Hayes Tuesday night.

"This country was built on peaceful protest"

But it is non-violent and it is "civil disobedience" so I endorse it and say "More power to those women".

He couldn't find fault with the Charlottesville Nazi protesters that lead to the murder of a young woman. The Antikav protesters were just too far.

The american mob , and the russian mob, but says this about others to project upon others they're out of control , when he's the one promoting violence to his rally crowds , and inciting them with lie after lie . He promotes lies and gets his low level followers to believe his claims . That's what serial liars and con men , and crooks do, they lie , a lot. Women , especially women smarter than he is , which is 95% of them or higher, scared the hell out of him. HE hates women and they know it now. Another day , another lie from trump.
