In the wake of that vote, you have been receiving, I understand, some disturbing phone calls. I want to play one that your office provided to us, and I just want to play this for our viewers to give them a sense of what you are getting.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>In the heavily bleeped voicemail, a man said, \u201c[ bleep ] traitor. That\u2019s what you are. You\u2019re a piece of [ bleep ] traitor. I hope you die. I hope everybody in your [ bleep ] family dies. You [ bleep ] piece of [ bleep ] trash, mother [bleep ]. Voted for dumb [ bleep ] Biden? You\u2019re stupider than he is. He can\u2019t even complete a [ bleep ] sentence, you dumb mother [ bleep ] traitor, piece of [ bleep ] mother [ bleep ], piece of trash. I hope you die. I hope your [ bleep ] family dies. I hope everybody in your [ bleep ] staff dies, you&nbsp;[ bleep ] piece of&nbsp;[ bleep ] [ bleep ].

But I have a colleague, as you know, that put out the phone numbers of the 13 of us that voted that way. I would be glad to defend that vote. And we have been working really since last spring on a bipartisan bill. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cYou know, we\u2019ve seen civility really downslide here. I am concerned about my staff. They are taking these calls. They are threats to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upton concluded, \u201cThese are very disturbing adult language, to say the least, that truly is frightening and a real, real bad mark in terms of the civility across the country as we\u2019ve seen these issues like this jump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Representative Fred Upton (R-MI) said Monday on CNN\u2019s \u201cAnderson Cooper 360\u201d that he was concerned for his staffs\u2019 safety after receiving a profane voicemail from a man calling him a &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-987373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=987373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/987373\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=987373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=987373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=987373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
