A man in Wyoming is charged with threatening to kill Rep. Matt Gaetz and other Republican officials

A man in Wyoming was charged after he phoned death threats to several Republican legislators in late January, according to the US Department of Justice.

Christopher Podlesnik, 51, was charged with seven counts of transmitting threats in interstate violence for menacing members of Congress.

According to US prosecutors, Podlesnik left voicemails to both of Wyoming's senators, a state senator, as well as Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz containing similar threats: Do not allow Gaetz into Wyoming or Podlesnik would kill each of the politicians involved, prosecutors allege.

"You let Gaetz step into the state of Wyoming," prosecutors allege Podlesnik said in a voicemail to Sen. John Barrasso, "not only is he going to be dead ... you're going to be dead."

1. He should have said "this state isn't big enough for both of us."

Kids these days. I can say that because one of mine is 51.

2. Crap, I wish people would not do that

It just lets rethugs point and shout that liberals are mean and violent while they ignore the insurgencies at Capitol Hill and the Michigan Capitol.

3. Is he a member of the

Cheyn gang?

4. glad the authorities are taking this stuff seriously

we really need to be keeping tabs (and weeding out where necessary) on the crazies.
(left, right, center -- violence, and threats of violence -- need to be stepped on quickly)

5. This probably was during the Liz Cheney kerfuffle. Maybe it was her dad

6. should be interesting to see where this goes...

seeing as how it was all done in light of the campaign against Liz Cheney, probably nowhere.
