Florida lawmaker faces threats after criticizing Trump

[bathroommonkey76]

A Democratic congresswoman is facing threats after she criticized President Donald Trump over his remarks to the widow of a soldier killed in Niger, her office said Thursday.

Four-term Rep. Frederica Wilson has remained in Florida this past week and missed several House votes, including Thursday's close budget vote.

"She chose to stay home for safety reasons. We have received a lot of threats. She will be returning next week," said Joyce Jones, a spokeswoman for Wilson.

Jones declined to discuss the specifics of the threats, except that they were mostly made over the telephone. Jones said a security detail is with the congresswoman while U.S. Capitol Police is checking in on staff.

"This is a serious matter and that is the only reason she would ever miss votes," Jones said.
