Exclusive: Rep. Wilson Spokesperson Says Threats Against Congresswoman Intensifying

[boston bean]

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A spokesperson for Rep. Frederica Wilson says the threats against the congresswoman have intensified.

The threats first started after Wilson called President Donald Trump “insensitive” for reportedly telling Army Sgt. La David Johnson’s wife, Myeshia, “he knew what he was getting into.”

The congresswoman’s staff immediately alerted Capitol Police, Miami Garden Police and the threat division of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Snip......Calls have apparently reached the thousands over this past 72 hours. There are also faxes that have been turned over to investigators.
