OMG! Maxine Waters is talking about getting death threats all the time.

She says it’s a daily thing for many Congresspeople and that she gets hundreds of threats and that some of them have been convicted and put in prison. She has to pay for security and has to send others to do her grocery shopping.

This is unacceptable. She and others have to hire their own security, presumably out of their own pockets, for personal protection from a dangerous "pResident" inciting violence against public officials while "private attorney" Rudy, "Nazi" Gorka, and other private citizens are apparently traveling around the world at taxpayers' expense?

Make it a law and that'll put a halt to it.

Impeachment is the other way.

Thank you Maxine Waters!!!! You are an American hero.

He is the catalyst for these threats and he should be held responsible.

Stay safe Maxine!
