Actually, they did.

Via Free Beacon:

Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) on Monday downplayed the rebukes she’s received from Democratic leaders for her call to publicly harass Trump administration officials.

Waters drew criticism from both sides of the aisle after a video showed her encouraging supporters to form crowds to verbally harass administration officials seen out in public. She said she was not encouraging physical violence, and told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) weren’t really criticizing her.

“They [Pelosi and Schumer] don’t really say I’m out of line. What they try to do is find a way to talk about civility without attacking me or anybody else,” Waters said. “As the leader of the Democratic Party, I expect that she would do everything that she could to make sure nobody believes that Democrats are out here harassing anybody or causing any violence, and I think that she was very responsible in the way she said that.”

She said these Democrats were not attacking her but making it clear their focus is on children being detained at the border.
