Law enforcement officials are investigating a threat against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who was vaulted into national prominence with his push to defund ObamaCare.
A person identifying himself as Troy Gilmore Jr., posted on Twitter Friday morning: “Take down Ted Cruz, at his home” and listed Cruz’s home address in Houston.
“What goes around comes around CRUZ!!” the person wrote.
The author of the threat uses the Twitter handle @ArmyVet54 and identifies himself as having served in the U.S. Army and Navy. Sean Rushton, Cruz’s spokesman, said, “We’re aware of it and have alerted the proper authorities.”
“I can’t comment further on security matters,” he said.
At about 5:30 pm on Friday, @ArmyVet54 posted another apparent threat, urging that Cruz “needs tobe [sic] taught a street wise [sic] lesson”.
The person posted Cruz's home address several other times this month and repeatedly used threatening language.
The apparent threats are not directed at any audience in particular because @ArmyVet54 does not have any Twitter followers. But a search of Cruz’s name on Twitter can find them.
The Capitol Police takes all threats to members of Congress seriously.
“We are looking into that matter,” said Officer Shennell Antrobus, a spokesman for the Capitol Police.
Donte Jamar Sims, a 22-year-old man living in North Carolina, was sentenced to six months in prison in May after he threatened over Twitter to kill President Obama during the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
In June, a judge sentenced Jarvis Britton, a 26-year old Alabama man, to a yearlong prison term after he threatened Obama over Twitter.
YW yes, that’s all it takes. Just one little thingie that doesn’t belong and zappo, error page.
How many books must they write?
How many ways can they possibly explain it to you, before you get it?
THEY WANT YOU DEAD!
obviously, the left fears Cruz cause he will get 95% of the Hispanic vote! hey, didnt a Previous candidate get 95% of a minority’s vote 5/6 years ago?
With Hispanics “Free $hit” trumps race.
If any harm comes to Cruz, the rinos will pay heavily first!
The left will pay period.
Twitter is a cesspool
Believe what you will but conservatives rule on twitter
Probably a McCain lackey
Morphing? They morphed long ago, at least a decade ago. Unions have been thugs since the 90’s.
Meet Troy Gilmore Jr. – the man who wants to take down Ted Cruz
So why is this clown wearing ACUs with a MARINES nametape? Can you say, “Stolen Valor”?
They don’t have far to drive. No wonder they’re so fond of the Arab Spring demoncracies. They, too, dream of crucifying all dissenters.
The left is morphing into a liberal fascist
movement whose thugs are cultivated and encouraged by the Obama administration and its thug in chief. This is a purposefully led evolution, not one wherein these thugs “just happen “ to be this way.
America has a difficult time realizing that we have a radical fascist culture poisoning our government and it is Obama’s task to bring this thuggish political criminal culture to fruition so that we have rioting and insurrection. There is nothing Obama would like more than to declare martial law and suspend all elections, virtually every federal department is armed and prepared to violate the People and the Constitution.
Even now,after all the jumped up, purposeful idiocy of the so called president, America cannot face the fact that it has elected a fascist, and the halls of patriot academe suggest that he be called a “coercive utopian.”
There will be a battle royal before we are shot of these thugs from the White Hut, and their little apparatchik thug operatives from ACORN and Obamacare “navigators”. Obama is preparing for his final Putsh in which he will subjugate the military and Congress and meanwhile, the MSM fiddles on like Nero in Rome. Obama is fast becomeing a dictator rather than a president of the Republic, a position for which he was unqualified.
Ted Cruz is a serious threat to these fascists and he needs our support and encouragement.
This is a very good read:

“”””He and Sarah make them cuckoo for cocoa puffs!””””
Nobody can make these people cuckoo. That ship sailed long ago.
“”twitter and facebook are evil””
celebrities and 14 year old girls who feel they have to tell the whole world every move they make. “I just bought a pack of crackers from the vending machine” -43 pictures including the necesary ‘tounge-out selfie’.
Its stupid and ridiculous.
I see this individual as someone who has no life whatsoever and sits in front of that tube on all these social networks feeling important. They have no life, so they go on these sites and make themselves appear important. Its a sad existance to sit there like that... with a phone or a computer fixed to their face 24/7.
If this person ever went out of the house, I would picture a fat, lazy, ugly, socially awkward individual that cannot string two sentences together face to face but is 10 feet tall and bullet proof on the internet.
“”They are doing to him what they did to Sarah and Michelle Bachmann.””
With praise and cheerleading from the media.
If nobody posted this yet, here is the 0bama bootlickin’ brownshirt wearing NAZI’s Facebook page:
