‘This Is Not the First One We’ve Had’: Rep. Waters on Recurrent Life-Threats and Her Resolve in Court

RUSH EXCERPT:

WATERS: "I wanted to see who this human being was, and when he saw me, what was it about me that made him want to kill me to mark what did I say? What did I do that made him want to slit my throat or portable between my eyes? So I listened to him, and I hope he listens to me. I had my children in court with me, my daughter was there, my son was there, and they are fearful that I am going to be killed. And of course my staff has to endure these kinds of threats. This is not the first one we’ve had. We’ve had some others sentenced and put in jail."
