More threats of violence from the Left.
This time directed at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), 77, who is recovering from a broken shoulder from a fall. (H/t Daily Wire)
Last night, a group of Democrats demonstrated in front of Sen. McConnell’s home in Louisville, Kentucky.
Kentuckian Ben Goldey, who is Capitol Hill’s Communications Director, tweeted this video of the protest, in which the voice of a man is heard saying (0:24 mark): “Hopefully” somebody will use a “voodoo doll” on McConnell.
Then a woman is heard saying (0:32 mark):
“Just stab the motherf*cker in the heart.”
A woman is on Facebook Live, outside of Senator McConnell’s home in Louisville, saying she hopes someone “just stabs the mother f*cker in the heart, please.” #KYSen pic.twitter.com/sHaPWqn32J

- Threatening other U.S. government officials, such as Sen. McConnell, is a Class C or D felony, usually carrying maximum penalties of 5 or 10 years under 18 U.S.C. § 875, 18 U.S.C. § 876 and other statutes. Such threats are investigated by the FBI.
