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.”

When you said “Tell them they are not welcome here anymore!”, What did you mean, Maxine, Maxine, what did you mean?!?

If she’s not dead, then the threats are not serious. Seriously! Shirley I’m not jesting!

She probably ran off her remaining 10 supporters.

Rubbish.

This is how she gets the heat off of her and gets to play the victim.

I’d bet my house there is no “death threat.” It’s just MO for leftists to claim they get them because conservatives are vewy, vewy bad.

Previous threats were serious, but she courageously went on about her business.

But this was 'very' serious, which is slightly more serious than 'really serious'. It wasn't 'credible' or 'verified' or 'believable' but it was 'very serious.' The kind of threat where you can have an aide create an anonymous social media account and type something very serious at you.

It will end up being her staff lackeys who made the threats—with her knowledge, of course.

I don’t support violence to effect a change in government. But she ought to take heed: Live by the sword, die by the sword.

“I’m going to kill you.”

“I’m going to really, really kill you a lot until you are very dead. Then I’m going to start all over again. Two more times.”

Which one is a “very serious death threat”?

Dumber ‘ena sackful o’ hammers.

Shows how low IQ she is .... is there a “less than very serious death threat”?

As opposed to a frivolous death threat? Calling her dumb as a rock is an insult to minerals.

Let’s make sure we show up wherever Maxine Waters goes. And if you see her in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on her. And you tell her she’s not welcome anymore, anywhere.
