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.

Calling bullsh!t!
Nah.
Incel.
“Maxine Waters cancels events over ‘very serious death threat’”
probably from Schumer or Pelosi ...
I call BS.
More than likely, they couldn’t get any local PD for security.
Even Madmaxi cant be that crazy. Can she? This has to be photoshopped.
Black Widows and Praying Mantis have an allure that males are willing to die for to mate....
M Waters...no one is willing to go that far.
Definition of irony?
Oh sure, maddmax, sure.
I saw Laura Loomer chase Mad Maxine down the alley in the halls of Congress. Maxine looked like she wanted to escape so badly she couldnt stand it. She was desperate to get away from somebody asking her questions. She think shes above it all.
I dont think anybody threatened her.She is trying to take cover from the pending assault charge.

She probably got on the phone stinking drunk, decided to make some death threat calls, and accidentally randomly dialed her own cell phone and left a message.
Playing it back and not recognizing how bad her own voice sounds, it really did scare the chit out of her.
MAD MAX is playing victim! Just No Surprise with this crazed venom spewing varmint! Ha at my choice of vile words to try describe her. She’s a complete crazy old bat!
She was told to use the go to def thret.
Works every time. Can't verify it. Makes the other side look bad.
I guess she just expects to give out threats but not to receive them!
Can’t imagine anyone on the right would be dumb enough to threaten her. She’s an eloquent spokes-creature for the left, perfectly expressing their thinking and views. America needs her out there talking it up on TV every day between now and the election!!
I dont have the energy to give a damn!
Can dish it out but can’t take it. Typical.
