Crockett Reports White Supremacist Threats at D.C. Office After Trump’s 'Punishable by Death' Post

Crockett links the encounter to incendiary rhetoric from national leaders.

Overview

  • Crockett said an individual came to her Washington office making white supremacist threats and hand gestures.
  • She reported no injuries, said everyone is safe, and thanked U.S. Capitol Police for a swift response.
  • Earlier Thursday, House Democratic leaders said they contacted Capitol Police and the House sergeant-at-arms to safeguard targeted members following Trump’s Truth Social message.
  • In his post, Trump accused some Democrats of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH” and urged arrests after a video about refusing unlawful military orders.
  • Crockett said the episode reflects a rising threat climate for lawmakers, vowed not to be intimidated, and called such incidents unacceptable as reporting continues.
