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.”

Typical Dem / leftist.
Let me just surmise , you low IQ bitch in a cheap wig. You started it. Suck it up butter cup.
“As you sow,so shall you reap.”
Violence has a habit of boomeranging.
Some her events are so poorly attended, she may actually be generating more PR from not having them.
You a Cop?
Not saying nothing with out my lawyer. :-(
Death threat from who?
Conservatives consider that female dumbass to be the most inept and low IQ human in the multiverse.
We want her.
We love her.
She is the best advertisement for us evah!
Really, we cannot make one so demonstrably stupid up.
And fugly too.
A true gift.
Uh huh. *sticks tongue in cheek*
The liar tends to add extra embellishment, even though the thing itself would be sufficient.
In this case, she didn’t have to add “very serious” to the death threat claim. The death threat is enough in and of itself.
Looks like a lie. Ask any expert.
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.
You axed for it Maxy.
Isn’t this the Democrat terrorist who said she couldn’t be intimidated?
Is the playing the victim card now?
Who invited her to speak? The new B’ham mayor?
Good question. It could very well have been a false threat, by one of her supporters.
PDJT and his family get death threats every day. He doesn’t cancel events or whine. Man up, Maxine.
(There is no way she got a death threat.)
Did Mad Max make the death threat against herself?
Good point!
Bernie was my Senator for 16 years when I lived in VT. I always thought he was the wackiest. I guess the woman on the left have stolen his crown.
Do you think she is dumb enough to play the “Me too” card.
