Maxine Waters cancels events over 'very serious death threat'
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 06/28/18 08:06 PM EDT
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) has canceled a pair of public events after she received a “very serious death threat,” CNN reported Thursday.
The congresswoman said in a statement that she had seen an increase in threats after she called for protestors to publicly confront Trump officials.
"As the President has continued to lie and falsely claim that I encouraged people to assault his supporters, while also offering a veiled threat that I should 'be careful', even more individuals are leaving (threatening) messages and sending hostile mail to my office," Waters said in the statement, according to CNN.
She said there was "one very serious death threat" made against her on Monday from a person in Texas, "which is why my planned speaking engagements in Texas and Alabama were cancelled this weekend."
"This is just one in several very serious threats the United States Capitol Police are investigating in which individuals threatened to shoot, lynch, or cause me serious bodily harm," Waters said.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Capitol Police told The Hill that it does not comment on ongoing investigations.
President Trump publicly criticized Waters during campaign rallies this week, and inaccurately claimed in a tweet on Monday that Waters called for harm to his supporters.
The Democrat said that she did not call for harm to Trump’s supporters or officials, and that she believes in “peaceful protest.”

Well, when you start throwing bombs like Mad Max has been doing she should have expected this.....if it really happened.
She was worried about a hit?
Are we to believe that there really such a thing as The Ugly Stick?
I call bs
Maxine the victim.... oh please
I think mad max did a “ Susan Rice “
I think it’s her last batch of ribs coming back to haunt her.
Oh I know what it is.
Trump gets another SCOTUS pick, and she recognizes that as a threat to her way of life.
Poor thing...
* I don’t approve of death threats to her *
James Brown drama queen.
She’s lying.
...Maxine Waters cancels events over ‘very serious death threat’...
Yeah, sure. Whom did she threaten?
BWWWWAAAAAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Yep. False flag.
Yeah, suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure, Max, and Obama lowered the height of the oceans, brought peace to the entire world, and if you like your health insurance, then everyone could just keep it. LOL
It’s all fund-raising.
Me too.
Let her ask for secret service bodyguards. She needs to be watched closely.
Bull crap, I’d bet that it’s a made up death threat.
She fits the profile for self inflicted wonds. Next will be racist notes pinned to her door.
I call “shenanigans.”
It’s all BS....
