Warning: when you click on articles in the Washington Times, you face a barrage of ads for cures for erectile dysfunction. At least I do. I wonder what they're trying to tell me.

Newly elected Klingenschmitt opens up about death threats
By Megan Schrader Updated: November 7, 2014 at 6:24 am
Gordon Klingenschmitt, the newly elected state House representative for southeastern Colorado Springs, said he notified security at the Capitol that he received death threats this year that are under investigation.
....
"I'm concerned, and I'm taking it seriously," Klingenschmitt said Thursday at the Capitol before orientation began for new lawmakers. "I'm not afraid, and I'm not worried. I'm in God's hands ultimately."
Klingenschmitt, who defeated Lois Fornander in the House District 15 race Tuesday, said he met Wednesday with Colorado State Patrol officers at the Capitol about several emails and one disturbing phone call he received.
....
In October, The Gazette reported that Klingenschmitt refused to meet with members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community until after the November election - and only if everyone first went through a background check at their expense. His email to the community members included a video clip of anti-gay activist Anita Bryant getting hit in the face with a pie in the '70s. Klingenschmitt said earlier death threats prompted that response.
