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.

All of a sudden, he doesn’t trust Jesus to protect him?
I’m sure he considers “threats” to be constituents calling up to respectfully disagree with his work on Jan. 6 scam committee.
I’m telling you folks. Phone calls and voicemails to Congressmen WORK. I’ve seen it have an effect myself many times. Be respectful, but state your position. Don’t say anything illegal or stupid. It works. Do it.
Regardless of what we think of a politician, threats of violence toward him or his family should result in prosecution and prison. Conversely, when a politician forments violence toward a person or group of persons, ex., Maxine Waters, that politician should be prosecuted and placed in prison.
It’s not like he takes calls from his constituents…
…or he wouldn’t be acting like such a dipwad.
Did the staffer cry like their boss did?
Good. Then the system is working. Get the hell out of office.
Well, not so much with my she, Nancy Mace.

I’m betting it’s Adam Schiff making the calls.
Play the recordings and publish the emails or it did NOT happen
He is a liar.
The Federal Bureau of Ineptiturds will get right on it.
While I don’t condone the threats, I understand the sentiment.
I guess Star Chamber trials with no defense allowed are still not a popular thing in America.
Adam can be glad that almost no one knows him and most who do will forget who he is.
Everyone knows who sLiz Cheney is and few will ever forget her.
A peaceful protest in front of his home is an option.
Suffer you prick!😎
That might be rude, but it's not a threat.
It could not happen to a more deserving person.
