What a crock of bullshit.
Yeah, I call bullshit, too. They told her to lie low and she has to spin it.
In addition to this being a tactic to avoid the press because she knows that she has crossed a line and must answer for it, there is something else.

Implicit in her failure to appear is the sentiment that her remarks about harassing administration officials are legitimized and justified because she herself is being threatened and harassed.

Some of that "dog whistle" stuff, y'see.

It's complete horse shit, of course. Even if there were any threats against her which caused her to forego the event in question (which I do not believe), Waters initiated the exchange. To call her remarks provocative doesn't even begin to cover it.

She has nothing to worry about - other than violence from her own party who love nothing better than to silence her. Conservatives are more than happy to let her fulfill her destiny as a useful idiot.

Conservatives would not have come out to harass her anyway. We have JOBS.

She just wants to be important. She heard Sarah Sanders got a security detail, and she wants one too.

I think she may already have one, Capitol Police got real pro-active after the ball field shooting. However, I doubt it's a huge or 24/7 detail.

So she's part of the 'Me too' crowd?

Crazy Maxine Waters, said by some to be one of the most corrupt people in politics, is rapidly becoming, together with Nancy Pelosi, the FACE of the Democrat Party. Her ranting and raving, even referring to herself as a wounded animal, will make people flee the Democrats!
