(FOX NEWS) – President Trump on Monday accused Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of advocating “harm” against his supporters, after she called over the weekend for protesters to confront Cabinet members wherever they see them in public.
“Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!” Trump tweeted.

The president’s tweet comes after Waters, D-Calif., urged her supporters to accost Trump administration officials.
“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, later telling MSNBC that protesters are “going to absolutely harass them.”
Despite Trump’s attempt to link Waters to Pelosi, the House Democratic leader seemed to distance herself from her California colleague’s remarks, calling for “unity” on Twitter.
In the crucial months ahead, we must strive to make America beautiful again. Trump’s daily lack of civility has provoked responses that are predictable but unacceptable. As we go forward, we must conduct elections in a way that achieves unity from sea to shining sea. https://t.co/vlpqOBLK4R

Waters’ comments follow several incidents where Trump administration officials were confronted at or kicked out of restaurants amid last week’s backlash over family separations at the border.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked to leave Lexington, Va., restaurant The Red Hen on Friday. Sanders confirmed she was told to leave by the owner because she worked for the president.
