At Maxine Waters’ L.A. office, defenders were in place but protesters were no-shows
LOS ANGELES — Amid controversy over comments by Rep. Maxine Waters, the militant group Oath Keepers scheduled a protest at the Democrat’s Los Angeles district office Thursday afternoon, only to apparently agree to call it off after police expressed fears of clashes with counter-demonstrators.
Dozens of Waters supporters, led by people waving signs and chanting into bullhorns, showed up well before the 1 p.m. stated start time for the protest by the group.
