FL Man Charged With Sending Death Threats to Dem Lawmakers
A Florida man has been arrested by federal authorities for allegedly calling three Democratic lawmakers’ offices in Washington, D.C., and threatening their lives.
John Kless, who has been charged with making threatening communications, allegedly left voicemails threatening murder at the offices of Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Corey Booker (D-NJ).
On all three messages, Kless, a resident of Broward County, referenced his hatred for Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), repeatedly calling her a “towel head” and member of the Taliban.
President Trump recently tweeted out an edited video of Omar talking about the establishment of the Council on American-Islamic Relations with footage of the World Trade Center on 9/11. Omar says the video sparked new death threats against her life. In two of the three voicemails, Kless defended President Trump and told lawmakers to stop criticizing him.
