As expected, pro-abortion Democrats went absolutely bonkers Friday in the aftermath of the anticipated decision from the Supreme Court where a majority ruled that the 1973 landmark Roe v. Wade ruling be overturned.
Among those melting down were members of the mainstream media and radical leftists like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), the latter of whom declared the Supreme Court “illegitimate” and encouraged people to get “into the streets” while refusing to condemn calls for violence that were coming from outraged pro-abortion groups.
Not surprisingly, Rep. Maxine “Mad Maxine” Waters (D-Calif.) also got in on the action, proclaiming her disgust with Friday’s announcement while urging people to “fight in the streets”:
Outside of the Supreme Court, Waters angrily waved her finger around as she spoke to reporters while vowing she and millions of women would “defy” the Supreme Court, saying the fight had only just begun:
“You see this turnout? You ain’t seen nothing yet. Women are going to control their bodies no matter how they try and stop us. The hell with the Supreme Court. We will defy them. Women will be in control of their bodies. And if they think black women are intimidated or afraid, they got another thought coming.””Black women will be out in droves. We will be out by the thousands, we will be out by the millions. We are going to make sure we fight for the right to control our own bodies.”
Watch:
Waters has become infamous over the years for whipping the more fanatical elements of her party into a frenzy and seeming to call for violence in the streets, so much so that some have indicated they’ve “lost count” of how often she’s done it:
In April 2021 Waters told Black Lives Matter agitators that “We’ve got to stay in the streets. We’ve got to get more confrontational. We got to make sure they know that we mean business” if there was no murder conviction in the Derek Chauvin case.
Watch:
In September 2018, Waters suggested Democrats “knock off the first one and then go after the second one,” referring to then-President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
Watch:
Most infamously, in June 2018 – one year after the attempted assassination of Republican members of Congress on a baseball field by a deranged supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), an unhinged Waters called on a crowd of riled-up supporters to find Trump administration officials and confront them no matter where they saw them.
Watch:
The incendiary rhetoric coming from the likes of AOC and Waters Friday in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade – language that would have caused explosions on the left and allegations of “undermining our democracy and sacred institutions” if they’d come from the right – came in the midst of President Biden’s pledge to use the power of the federal government to try and do an end-run around the SCOTUS ruling.
And as Legal Insurrection previously reported, DOJ Attorney General Merrick Garland sounded a little “insurrectiony” in a statement issued Friday where he noted his department would do whatever they could to minimize the impact of the ruling.
“The Justice Department will use every tool at our disposal to protect reproductive freedom,” the statement read. “And we will not waver from this Department’s founding responsibility to protect the civil rights of all Americans.”
Except for the rights of the unborn of course.
