On Saturday, Waters appeared at an immigration rally in California. During the rally, Waters addressed the crowd. In her nearly ten minute speech, she had some words for people who are threatening her:
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...All I have to say is this, if you shoot me you better shoot straight, there’s nothing like a wounded animal.
The moment came at around the 3:45 mark.
