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.”

..if it really happened.

Whenever a snarling leftist is cornered they start sniveling and play the victim card.

Having one of her drama spells.

She should ask Rush Limbaugh just how many death threats he’s received since 1990.

Probably a death threat from Nancy Pelosi, or other Democrat. Every time Maxine opens her mouth she costs the Dems votes...

Well, it’s probably a “conservative” liberal, because she is the best thing to happen to the Republican party since Adlai Stevenson. May she be reelected until she’s 100!

For sure. She calls for violence and gets backlash and pulls this for obvious reasons. It won’t work.

I wouldn’t waste a 25 cent bullet or phone call on her, she is great for conservatives, she makes the dems look like the fools they are.

You forgot to turn the sarcasm off!

Mad Maxine clearly falls into the noxious, venomous harridan category along with Hitlery, Nancy, Fauxahuntus, Debbie
Whatshernam Shitferbrains and other Democrat “leaders.”
