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.”

I agree....make her the face of the demoncrat party.
Why would anyone want to hurt Maxine - she is the gift that keeps giving. go maxine go
I’d like to know how many serious death threats President Trump receives on a daily basis. Boo Hoo, Maxine.
It sure as heck wasn’t the Right we need her. Maybe her own want to shut her up for a while.
Faked hate crime?
Lol
Isn’t she the one who made the threat?
no one shows up anyway
“He/she who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.” Isn’t that how the saying goes?
Is it being investigated ,if not then FAKE
I’m sure if they trace the call back it came directly from the DNC.
She so ugly a bullet would turn around anyway
Yup. This smells of the DNC shutting down the best campaigner for GOP candidates in the midterms.
She interpreted the same treatment she advocates for others as a death threat against her.
Yes, she is the one that created this monster. Congress warned her about her incendiary rhetoric.
The difference now is that patriotic Americans are not going to take it anymore. The left is going to get what they themselves like to dish out. Protest the protesters. Harass the harassers.
Do what he say!
