Democratic House Representative, #MaxineWaters, apparently evacuated her Los Angeles office after receiving a package labeled “ANTHRAX,” TMZ reported.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A local CBS affiliate also reported that police and hazardous materials team were dispatched to Waters’ office to investigate the package.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Amidst the danger of her livelihood, Waters was forced to cancel speaking engagements and appearances. Yet, when she returned she had some words to get off her chest:

“I know that there are those who are talking about censuring me, talking about kicking me out of Congress, talking about shooting me, talking about hanging me,” Waters said last month. “All I have to say is this: if you shoot me, you better shoot straight.”
