Was a Deplorable behind Anthrax scare at building housing Waters' L.A. office


A building that houses the Los Angeles office of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) was partially evacuated Tuesday after receiving a suspicious package addressed to "Anne Thrax," according to the local fire department.

One person came in contact with the package and had no medical complaints, the Los Angeles Fire Department said in an incident report on its web site. Only affected portions of the two-story building were evacuated, the LAFD said/

Officials determined there was no hazard, the fire department said.

Spokespeople for Waters did not respond to requests for comment.

Waters has faced threats since calling on supporters last month to confront Trump administration officials in public in response to the separation of parents and children at the border. She is one of President Donald Trump's fiercest critics and has called for his impeachment.

and a cattle disease.

Made me think that maybe it's someone representing or within a farming community....hence the

I can think of at least one major suck up that fits that criteria.

not against farmers but the mentality that runs strong in that community is down right scary. All those biolabs we never hear about in red states, I know of a few, I can imagine a lot of things. But this wasn't the real stuff so it could have been anyone trying to control the narrative, too.

The police need to investigate and find who sent it as this is a serious matter. As a plus, it might help reduce the number of cops available to respond to nuisance calls about random black people.
