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.”

Prior to his run for Mayor, I recall seeing him in torn jeans and dirty shirt sleeping on the park bench. Fully expected him to ask us to help open his ‘Wild Irish Rose’ bottle.
Mad Maxine is a LIEberal.
LIEberals LIE!
Mad Maxine is LYING!
With her mouth she should be able fend off any attack.
As opposed to a “very hilarious death threat”?
Have you got a different link?
Crybully....perfect description.
I wonder if one would get in legal trouble for offering a $10K reward for her wig, provided it’s snatched from her head during a public appearance with more that 100 persons attending?
Then again, she probably can’t draw that large a crowd any more, so it’s a moot point.
If ugliness and hatefulness were diseases she’d have been dead long ago.
Hey MadMax - it’s the ones that don’t tell you they are going to hurt you that you have to be worried about.
What kind of cotton pickin monkeyshines is she up to now?
I seriously doubt that is true....she doesn’t want to face mob antics like those she advocated. For the demonrats it is always ‘different’ when the shoe is on their foot.....madmax is dumber than a rock....
She lied, the hill lied. Openly and blatantly. She called for attacks on humans/normal people.
The HUnter is not the Hunted, and Karma is a Bitch! I seriously doubt if she had a threat against her life.
This reporter for The Hill is dead wrong. Donald Trump was accurate in saying Waters did call for doing harm to his supporters.
Really? With caller ID you cannot find who made the threat? Lying Dem rides again.
So! We have maniacal Maxine cancelling an appearance because of a SUPPOSED death threat. But it was alright for you to do the same thing to Others. Well, there is only one word to describe this. And it is called “KARMA”. You’ve made your bed with your fatal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Now lie in it.
Who would want to hurt her?
She is a very, very valuable dumb-bell
BS, Maxine.
She’s lying.
Enjoy Hell Maxine!
Karma
Any death threats probably come from nervous Democrats. Conservatives want her (and Nancy Pelosi) to live forever and continue to give us video material for campaign ads!
