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 Trumps supporters or officials, and that she believes in peaceful protest.

Big lie. Mad Max is playing the Sympathy Card!
She blatantly incited violence.
My prayers of intercession are working!
Duplicate. Look down the list a few items.
What a sham...
I mean shame
How’s it feel to be on the receiving end, you stinking, foul, evil beotch?
So tell people to get violent, then when the blowback comes, try to tone it down a bit.... Might need to cancel a few events til it blows over. Very possibly the events were canceled before she got there, and now she is making excuses and getting bonus sympathy points.

CHIT!! Now she’s crying wolf!!
She can dish it out but she can’t take it.
Every single socialist racist like Maxine is a crybully.
Tough sh1t bully with a big mouth dishes it out.
Cries unfair/victim when some comes back to them.
“Falsely” claim? What a lying sack of monkey $hit.
She said, "Tell them they are not welcome here anymore!" What does that mean, Maxine?
New chant, "What did you mean Maxine, Maxine, what did you mean?
It's like a spindly 98-pound wimp slapping the linebacker around on the playground because he knows the big guy won't dare punch him. Then, when he finally does, the weenie howls like a scalded dog that he's being picked on.
Clock a few Antifags upside the head and listen to them screech. Throw Maxi-pad's vitriol back at her and watch her barricade herself in her palace.
I wonder what MadMax promised her Sister for calling in the threat?
She has made a career out of being a victim, and now is cashing in, again.
unfortunately, its mad max so it probably isnt true.
shrug
Words have consequences you vitriolic shrew.
