“And if we don’t, we cannot go away,” she added. “We’ve got to get more confrontational.”
When asked about the fact that she was breaking curfew, she said “I don’t know what curfew means.”
“A curfew means that ‘I want y’all to stop talking,’” she said, adding, “I don’t agree with it.”
The extremist politician urged people to continuing protesting, violating the curfew.

“I came here for one reason, just to be here, to make sure that I let my thoughts be heard among all of those who have spent so much time on the streets. And so I’m hopeful that the protests will continue,” she said.
In June 2018, Maxine Waters told a crowd of supporters in Los Angeles to confront and harass Trump officials if they were seen out in public.
“If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” Waters said.
