In response to the outrage over her comments, Waters clarified that she believed in nonviolent protests and did not wish harm upon anyone.

"Trump is the one who is creating lies," stated Waters, as quoted by Fox News. "Trying to have people believe that I talked about harming people. There's nowhere in my statement, anytime, anyplace that we talked about harm."
