Insider reached out to Waters representatives but they did not respond to our request for comment on Tuesday.

The spokesperson stated that while we cannot comment on the tweet, she said that they have opened lines of communication with her office as standard and worked with them to make sure the account was secure. "At the moment, we haven't detected any signs of account compromise."
ProPublica's Politwoops project tracks deleted tweets of Congress members. Waters deleted six retweeted Tweets within 24 hours of sharing them. It is not clear if her Tuesday tweet referred to any of those deleted replies.
