Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), “whose call for public protests of Trump administration officials has triggered a debate over civility in politics, said Thursday that she has canceled events in Texas and Alabama this weekend due to a ‘very serious death threat’ made against her,” the Washington Post reports.
Waters said that after President Trump took aim at her on Twitter on Monday, “even more individuals are leaving threatening messages and sending hostile mail to my office.”
