Fake letter attributed to Kamala Harris warns DC synagogues they must close or be shut down

Synagogues in Washington, D.C., are receiving a fake letter purported to be signed by Vice President-elect Kamala Harris warning them to close or they will go to prison.

“Myself and President Joe Biden, will shut down your Synagogue of worship and place heavy fines upon your religious institution,” said the letter, according to an alert distributed Tuesday to Jewish institutions by Secure Community Network, the national Jewish group that advises institutions on security.

“We will be in control in two weeks and we will shut you down,” says the letter, which has a postmark from Albany, New York. “This is your fair warning from me. [Washington] Mayor Muriel Bowser will have the authority from myself and President Biden to shut you down and take you to prison if you decide to open your doors.”

I guess it is geared to an ignorant audience for whom that will not appear as a "neon" sign.
