The Quick Read: Maxine Waters Calls For The Public To ‘Push Back’ On Trump Administration

Here’s all the news you need to know:

During a rally in Los Angeles, Congresswoman Maxine Waters called for the public to “push back” on Trump administration in response to the government’s immigration policy that separates families.

“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,” she said. “You tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” 

Waters’ rallying cry comes just days after Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked to leave a Virginia restaurant by its owner.

Netflix’s chief communications officer Jonathan Friedland has been fired after using the N-word. According to reports, Friedland used the word while in a meeting about offensive language in comedy, and later used the racial slur again while sitting with two Black employees and HR about the first incident. Friedland announced his departure on Twitter, saying, “Leaders have to be beyond reproach in the example we set and unfortunately I fell short of that standard.” (Huffington Post)

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee tweeted a racist photo of a MS-13 gang to suggest it was Nancy Pelosi’s committee “for the take back of the House.” Huckabee’s use of the racist image was also an attempt to slam Democrats for their immigration and border control policies. The tweet has not been taken down. In fact, he has since defended his use of “vile violent criminal gang.” (The Root)
