Loomer confronted the California House rep on camera in Washington DC earlier that day, following up on recent comments encouraging Democrats to publicly confront Trump supporters and admin officials.
In the video, Waters rejected Loomer’s questions asking what places Trump supporters can go without fear of being harassed, as she proceeds to bat Loomer’s camera away while telling her to schedule an appointment.
