Maxine Waters cancels events after receiving a ‘very serious death threat’

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., announced Thursday she has canceled two upcoming events after receiving a “very serious death threat,” just days after she advocated for liberals to accost members of the Trump administration in public settings.

“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,” she said in a statement.
