Democratic lawmaker shares vile audio of death threats against her family since Trump targeted her

Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning to describe the toxicity in Congress that exploded during Donald Trump's four years as president, Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) shared a recording of a vile death threat against her and her family.

With CNN host Dana Bash warning the audience about what was to follow, her producers play the audio where an unidentified man called the member of Congress a multitude of obscene names before stating, "I hope your family dies in front of you. I pray to God, if you got any children, they die in your face."

As for comment afterward by host Bash, Dingell sat in silence for a moment before explaining the recording was one of many threats she has received since being singled out by the former president.

"I've been getting those for a couple of years ever since Christmastime, the Christmas, right after [husband] John had died," she recalled.

Rep. Dingell is a decent and dignified person.

It is a disgrace that there are so many sick lowlife Americans who behave so grossly.

next level.

Anonymity cloaked a desire to trash and berate others in secrecy and allowed evil to fester and grow in virulence. It has metastasized.

The most we did was root for impeachment and removal as well as judicial action against our nitwit opponents.
