I don't want any of our congressmen and women receiving threats of physical harm but this is what happens when you stir crap up - IF valid and not an exaggeration from that woman from Kalifornia. Of course, she blames the POTUS. Maybe this will finally shut her pie hole about harassing people. If it doesn't, then shame on her.

Quote:Rep. Maxine Waters stirred up a lot of controversy last week when she called on people to confront Trump administration officials whenever they are out in public. Now the California Democrat reportedly has canceled events in Texas and Alabama because of a "serious death threat" made against her.

CNN reported Thursday that Waters said in a statement that after Trump took aim at her on Twitter: "Even more individuals are leaving threatening messages and sending hostile mail to my office."

"There was one very serious death threat made against me on Monday from an individual in Texas which is why my planned speaking engagements in Texas and Alabama were cancelled this weekend," Waters said in the statement.

"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," the statement added.

NPR hasn't independently confirmed the statement.

While details of the Texas event were not immediately known, Waters had been scheduled to speak Friday at the annual legislative conference of the National Organization of Black Elected Legislative Women in Birmingham, Ala. The event was billed as "NOBEL Women Presents A Moment with Maxine."

The organization's president, Karen Camper, told the Alabama news website AL.com that Waters had canceled her appearance because of security concerns.
