(CNN)Rep. Maxine Waters said Thursday she's seen an increase in threats since she made controversial comments last week encouraging protesters to heckle and harass members of Trump's Cabinet in public spaces.
The California Democrat canceled two scheduled appearances in Alabama and Texas this weekend after saying she got threatening messages and "hostile mail" at her office, including "one very serious death threat" on Monday from an individual in Texas.
"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.
I appreciate she has served for the public for a long time. But I would prefer she gets the same benefits we all get.

Sadly, when she decides to retire it's with all the amenities most of us would love to have.
Pension, health care, etc. for life.

Sorry Maxine, but you have lost the respect of.... everyone, and this is something that can't be undone.
Time to go home.
Yep. What the hell was she thinking?
Piss poor way to end an honorable career.
