Another Democratic Congressman now says he has received threats over the health care bill: Dennis Moore of Kansas.
Moore told the Fox affiliate in Kansas City that he has received two separate threats in the last ten days. Moore also said that because of the threats, and because of the examples he’s seen from other members’ town halls, he won’t be hold any town halls himself.
“I expect to have differences with people, differences of opinion. And, I respect people’s opinions. But, I expect exchanges we have to be respectful and not threatening,” said Moore. “As a former prosecutor, I certainly do not tolerate threats well and that’s why I contacted the police department.”
Rep. Brad Miller (D-NC) and Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA) have also announced that they’ve received threats. Also, a district office of Rep. David Scott (D-GA) was recently vandalized with a large swastika.
