Officers ordered her to apologise or risk being taken to the station for a formal interview.
In a searingly honest conversation last night, the pensioner – who “has never been arrested in her life” – revealed her angst when cops came knocking at her door.
She told: “People don’t like being bullied not the British, not the Americans.
“I think that’s what these visits are about, getting us to self-censor. I think it’s a bullying tactic to make us think, oh gee should I or shouldn’t I.”
She added: “I was so angry at the time that I kept over talking him.
“I have no idea what to think but I was angry that’s what I felt most I was just angry.”
In a two-minute clip released earlier this month, an officer enters her living room and informs her of the allegations.
Speaking directly to Ms Anderson, he says: “If you were admitting that it was you who wrote the comment, you could just make an apology to the person.
“The alternative would be that I have to call you in for an interview.”
But she quickly fires back at the officer and questions why he is not investigating “rapes” or “murders” in the area.
Pressed about the peculiar interaction last night, she was fervent saying: “It was the most stupid conversation like my mother telling me I upset somebody and had to go apologise.
“The British people are going to fight they are not afraid to fight they’ve been quiet all this time they’ve been polite and they’ve been well behaved but I think they’re going to push things too far.”
Politicians, including Tory leader Kemi Badenoch, are among those who have publicly criticised Thames Valley Police for the incident.
When asked about the alleged threatening comments, she insisted she never says “anything that crosses lines” but the UK feels more “vague” than the US on what officers decide to pick you up on.
She added: “Most people are very very aware of what’s going on in the UK they are really scared, for me they know I’m political and like to mouth off.
“I don’t say anything that crosses lines but I’ve got opinions, of course I do.”
The interview comes amid increased efforts to protect freedom of speech in the UK as Ms Anderson said the situation here is “very different from what it’s like back home.”
