MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WSMV) - The U.S Attorney’s Office in Middle Tennessee announced the arrest of a woman who allegedly threatened to kill Senator Marsha Blackburn.

The release states that 22-year-old Penelope Convertino left a voice message at Sen. Blackburn’s office in Nashville on May 30, 2025.

In the message, Convertino stated:

“My name is mother**ker and I’m gonna kill Marsha Blackburn. I’m gonna shoot her with a gun. I’m gonna blow up her head on national TV. She will literally have brains splattered behind her because she will not be a person. She will be a dead f**king body.”

Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Convertino on Thursday, August 28.

“Our public officials should be able to do their jobs without receiving vile death threats,” said Acting United States Attorney Robert E. McGuire. “Threatening public officials with deadly violence cannot and will not be tolerated. We will not hesitate to hold those who make these kinds of violent threats accountable for their crimes.”

Convertino is charged with making a threat to murder a federal official and faces a maximum of 10 years in federal prison if convicted.

Sen. Blackburn expressed appreciation for the individuals handling the investigation and asserted that threats will not derail her obligation to the people she represents.

“Threats against the life of any public official are unacceptable and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent,” Sen. Blackburn said. “I am grateful to law enforcement and federal prosecutors in the Middle District of Tennessee for taking this threat seriously and for their swift action. My focus remains on serving the people of Tennessee, and I will not be intimidated or deterred by those who seek to silence me.”

The FBI is investigating the incident, and U.S. Attorney McGuire is prosecuting the case.

Alizarin? Sounds like a prescription drug.

Just another inclusive, tolerant, diversity celebrating leftist extremist democrat wanting to kill a republican.

Something really, really has to be done about these trans freaks.

I won’t vote for the woman who helped certify Biden’s stolen election on Jan. 6, because I despise her. But I never considered killing her.

It took 3 months to find and arrest this POS?
