Fielding hundreds of angry calls a day.
Thousands of people leaving irate voicemails.
One caller threatening to shoot up GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger's Washington, DC office.
These are just some of the things Kinzinger's congressional staffers have had to deal with in recent months as a result of his participation in the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection.
Maura Gillespie, Kinzinger's deputy chief of staff, told Insider that since the congressman started working on the January 6 committee, his office has had to contact US Capitol Police several times to report threats against the congressman. The phone calls and threatening voicemails tend to get worse on the days when the January 6 panel holds its public hearings, Gillespie said.
"At some point, we had to turn the phones off and put them to voicemail because it was so overwhelming," Gillespie said.
Kinzinger, an outspoken critic of Trump, has talked publicly about the threats he has received for being on the January 6 committee. Last month, the Illinois lawmaker shared on Twitter a death threat he received in a letter addressed to his wife, Sofia. The letter said, "That pimp you married not only broke his oath, he sold his soul." It went on, "Therefore, although it might take time, he will be executed."
Earlier this week, the Republican's office tweeted out a three-minute video clip featuring some of the threatening voicemails people have left him at his Washington office. One caller said, "I hope you naturally die as quickly as fucking possible." Another caller threatened to go after Kinzinger's wife and his newborn baby.

This dopey rino always wants to be a victim just like a libtard š¤Ŗ
Bet he can go have a peaceful meal in any DC restaurant.
Arenāt they his constituents?! Is he not obligated to listen?
Well, he won’t have to put up with it much longer, seeing as how he isn’t even running for re-election this November.
I mean, why even bother with answering phones - just close up shop and hang out with his new Rat homies.
“Adam Kinzinger? He likes to lie.”
So you can threaten a Supreme Court judge at a restaurant but canāt call their office. Riiiiggghhhhtttt
Oh, I am so sorry for you! NOT!!!
āI hope you naturally die...ā is a threat?
How is that legal????
Gee Whiz ... Fake News that couldn't happen to a nicer guy!
BI=BS
Big boys should know this, but Kinzinger is a pipsqueak.
{sniff! sniff!}
Yep. Thatās libtard B.S. I smell. š„“
DON’T MAKE BRICK CRY!
Nobody’s calling his office. Nobody.
So they can’t take a hint eh. Figures.
Most likely some truth to it.
GOP voters are tired of this fool.
Gonna have to rename this guy to “Baby Huey”. At least the cartoon character doesn’t whine and cry all day like this one does.
Kinzinger got re-districted out of office by his friends the Democrats here in Hellinois. Kinzinger would've had his ass handed to him if he ran. The Democrats in this state eliminated a Republican seat by combining districts.
He thought taking their side would save his seat. He thought wrong.
Good riddance to bad trash.
