Quote:Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) on Friday defended Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) after she cancelled a pair of speaking events over threats made against her life after she called for public confrontations of Trump administration officials.

Hensarling, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, and Waters, the panel’s ranking member, often spar over President Trump’s policies and financial regulatory issues in committee hearings.

But the staunchly conservative Hensarling said in a Friday statement, “It is intolerable that any American, including elected officials, should ever be harassed, intimidated or threatened for their political views — no matter how distasteful some may find them.”

“A free and democratic society cannot long remain so without a free exchange of political ideas,” Hensarling said. “I disagree with almost everything Congresswoman Waters says, but she deserves the opportunity to be heard in safety and security.”

A Bridge Over Troubled Waters

I think that's a bs move......he should've slammed banged the shite out of wicked witches comments.....

all that tells me is he's another career political pu$$y worried about his own arse too......

jmho....

Actually he did.

It's even in that very same article:

Quote:Trump publicly criticized Waters during campaign rallies this week, and inaccurately claimed in a tweet that the Democrat called for harm to his supporters. Lawmakers from both parties, including Hensarling, criticized her comments and called for civility among political rivals.

Hensarling scolded Waters at the start of a Financial Services panel hearing Wednesday, invoking the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) last year.

“We all know that words matter. I know that Steve Scalise believes this, and if you listened to him yesterday, you will know passionately he does,” Hensarling said.

Hensarling also compared Waters’s comments to the historic racial segregation of blacks from restaurants.
