House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., appeared to slam a call by Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., for people to harass officials in President Donald Trump's administration whenever they are out in public.

Her Twitter post linked to a CNN tweet about Waters encouraging her supporters to harass Trump administration officials.

Waters had told MSNBC: "These members of his Cabinet who remain and try to defend [Trump], they're not going to be able to go to a restaurant, they're not going to be able to stop at a gas station, they're not going to be able to shop at a department store. The people are going to turn on them. They're going to protest."

She was referring to several instances where people have already confronted White House officials in public over the administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy.

And she encouraged Americans to "absolutely harass" White House officials.
