Lennox reportedly became angry after the ad played, sparking an altercation with his friends \u2014 after which he called Bailey\u2019s office in Springfield, IL, to complain further.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors revealed some of what Lennox allegedly said in the voicemail:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to skin Darren Bailey alive, making sure he is still alive, and I\u2019m going to feed his f***ing family to him as he is alive and screaming in f***ing pain \u2026\u00a0He is a piece of white a** racist s***, and honestly if he doesn\u2019t kill himself, I will. <\/p>\n<p>You know what? I know where he lives. I know where he sleeps. I know where his kids sleep. And I know the f***ing school he works at \u2026 the candidate teaching all this mother f***ing misinformation is going to die. So honestly he should just kill himself before anything else happens.<\/p>\n<p>So f*** him for being a piece of s*** \u2026 So you know what? I am going to take anything and everything possible. You know what? I am going to make him scream. I am going to make him scream and suffer. Yeah, that\u2019s right. So he better kill himself, and if he doesn\u2019t, I am going to kill him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors said Lennox also mentioned abortion in the voicemail, although they were not clear about context. They also said that Lennox admitted to not liking Bailey\u2019s opponent \u2014 incumbent Democrat Illinois Governor <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/illinois-gov-pritzker-billionaire-family-at-forefront-of-radical-gender-ideology-push-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">J. B. Pritzker<\/a>\u00a0 \u2014 very much either, but said that he hated Bailey more.<\/p>\n<p>A Chicago police report said that Lennox left the voicemail just before 10:30 p.m. local time on Friday, October 28th, the Chicago Sun Times reported. The Illinois Secretary of State Police did not initially take action, dismissing the threat as \u201cnot credible,\u201d but further investigation led them to reverse course.<\/p>\n<p>The Cook County State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s Office charged Lennox with one felony count each of threatening a public official, telephone harassment or harassment by electronic communications, and the schools associated with Bailey\u2019s family were placed on soft lockdown. Bail was set at $75,000 for Lennox, who has not yet posted.<\/p>\n<p>Cook County Circuit Court Judge Susana Ortiz also barred Lennox from any further contact with Bailey or any members of his family or staff, ordering him to be electronically monitored as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis went above and beyond anything that is acceptable, even in the realms of political discourse. It simply will not be tolerated,\u201d Ortiz said.<\/p>\n<p>Further interviews with Lennox \u2014 conducted by police \u2014 indicated that the man was not only willing to admit what he had done, but that he was proud of it.<\/p>\n<p>In a series of Snapchat messages that he turned over to law enforcement, Lennox boasted that he was essentially a \u201cpolitical terrorist\u201d \u2014 and congratulated himself for forcing Bailey and his family into lockdown: \u201cI feel so f***ing accomplished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following the <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/darren-bailey-illinois-jb-pritzker-governor-school\/12412062\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">initial threat<\/a>, Bailey raised questions regarding the Secretary of State Police and their initial decision not to pursue the threat as \u201ccredible,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/crime\/2022\/11\/2\/23436894\/darren-bailey-voicemail-death-threat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">saying<\/a>, \u201cDivisive, inflammatory, and misleading rhetoric is driving hatred across our state as some attempt to label political opponents as dangerous threats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker pushed back, accusing Bailey of attempting to politicize the threat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Chicago resident has been arrested and charged after he allegedly threatened Illinois Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey, promising to skin him alive and then feed his family to him.
