Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI) on Friday revealed she is the latest victim of a threatening letter claiming to be from the Democratic Socialists of America, condemning the “political intimidation” after a series of other lawmakers and election officials reported receiving similar warnings.
Scholten said the FBI is looking into the incident, and condemned the “threatening” letter sent to her Grand Rapids congressional office, saying it made a “direct and specific reference to an impending ‘civil war’ beginning after the election,” and contained unidentified white powder.
