President Donald Trump and many of his supporters have been calling for the outing of the Ukraine whistleblower. And one person who was wrongly identified by Trump supporters as the whistleblower, according to the Daily Beast, has received death threats.
The person wrongly identified, according to the Daily Beasts Will Sommer, is R. David Edelman a former staffer in the Obama White House. Sommer quotes Edelman as saying that on Thursday, There were people threatening real physical harm, alluding to the fact that I will not live very long. That was obviously upsetting for my family.
Sommer reports that on Thursday, tweets with photos of Edelmans face surrounded by circles and arrows in a picture taken from his time at the White House were racking up tens of thousands of retweets. That photo, according to Sommer, shows Obama White House staff feeling dismayed after learning of the 2016 presidential election results but was wrongly described on social media this week as Obama staffers reacting to Trumps first White House visit.
Edelman explained, It had my face circled, and it said something to the effect of, Here is your alleged Ukraine whistleblower.
