Patreon.com/LikeitOrNot ****On today's edition of Like It Or Not w/ Benjamin Dixon and Rebecca Azor: After Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA 43) attended a Brooklyn Center protest and voiced support for continued protests and confrontation with police, House Republicans have called for Speaker Pelosi to take action against the lawmaker. The Defense in the Derek Chauvin murder trial also sought a mistrial over Rep. Waters’ remarks, and while he was critical of Waters, the Judge denied the motion by the Defense. Also, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had signed “anti-riot” legislation which he also says prevents local governments in his state from defunding police. All that and more on Like It Or Not!
