FBI: Tennessee man charged with threatening family of US House Majority Leader Cantor
Source: AP

A Tennessee man left profanity-laden voicemail messages at the office of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, using an anti-Semitic slur and threatening the Virginia congressman’s family, federal authorities said Thursday.

Glendon Llewellyn Swift, 62, of Lenoir City, has been charged with threatening to assault or murder a member of the immediate family of a United States official.

The FBI said in an affidavit that Swift left two messages at Cantor’s suburban Richmond office the evening of Oct. 27, threatening to “destroy” the congressman, rape his daughter and kill his wife.

The caller shouted obscenities and slurs at the Jewish congressman, according to FBI special agent Nicholas Bultinck’s report. The agent said the calls, which together lasted a little more than five minutes, were traced to Swift’s cellphone.

6. A drunk idiot.
Amazing how alcohol can decrease your inhibitions and increase your stupidity.

2. Much as I dislike Cantor, no one should have to endure such threats. . .
most especially the family of a public representative.

9. Centor said Democrats should stop saying Rethugs were threatening them.
Showed no anger towards those threatening Democrats, though.

Then he reports a shooting in "his" office, which turns out to be a bullet fired in the air outside an office that was not even his.

Now this.


And the guy says he does not remember threaterning Cantor's family, tho admits being totally wrong with Cantor.

Think I wll believe 29% of this story.


However, if the guy did threaten to rape Cantor's daughter and kill his wife, that's sick, even for a drunk.
