Tuesday 5 July 2022 05:48 PM Kinzinger reveals threats saying 'we will come to your house', we are 'going to ... trends now
Rep. Adam Kinzinger on Tuesday released audio of graphic threats made against him, his family, and fellow Republican lawmaker Rep. Liz Cheney.
'Threats of violence over politics has increased heavily in the last few years. But the darkness has reached new lows. My new interns made this compilation of recent calls they’ve received while serving in my DC office,' the Illinois Republican wrote on Twitter.
Roughly three minutes' worth of call recordings feature people assailing Kinzinger with profane insults and vowing, 'we will come to your house.'
The nameless callers accuse Kinzinger of 'backstabbing' Donald Trump and label him and Cheney as 'communists' while claiming to know where they and their families live.
Cheney and Kinzinger are the lone Republican members of the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. Both have also become frequent targets of Trump's wrath since voting to impeach him over riot last year.
'You backstabbing son of a b****. You go against Trump y'all know you m***********s are sitting up there lying like a damn dog,' one caller said in the audio.
Another person wildly accused Kinzinger of orchestrating the death of Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran who was shot while leading a crowd that shattered windows to invade the Capitol.
'You son of a b****. You gave $200 to that black b****** that killed Ashli Babbitt,' they said.
Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger posted more than three minutes of threatening voicemails and phone calls made to his office on Twitter Tuesday morning
He pointed out that it was young interns who mostly field the threatening messages, not the lawmaker himself
'I hope somebody like him kills your nasty mom and your nasty wife. It's not a threat, it's a hope.'
Others promised to 'protest' in front of Kinzinger's home - which he shares with his wife and baby daughter.
'Hey you little c*** s*****.
