A California man who claimed to be an Air Force veteran and former police officer online was charged in New York on Tuesday with threatening family members of Congressman Hakeem Jeffries and a journalist over statements they made about the 2020 presidential election.
The suspect, 35-year-old Robert Lemke, of Bay Point, Calif., allegedly threatened the congressman’s brother in a text message the same day a pro-Trump mob stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6.
“Your brother is putting your entire family at risk with his lies and other words. We are armed and nearby your house. You had better have a word with him,” Lemke allegedly wrote in the text message.
“We are not far from his either … your words have consequences. Stop telling lies; Biden did not win, he will not be president,” he added in another to the congressman’s brother.

Telling people of your intentions is not a very smart move. Real killers don’t tell anyone what they are going to do and just do it. I was around members of the Dixie Mafia and they just did it.
Such threats should not be part of politics, but like many things in politics that should not be part of it, they are.
Some people are just stuck on stupid. They should be dealt with by the judicial system, not like the prosecutors/judges in Oregon and Washington State do, let them (violent protestors) go without prosecution.
Who do they these leftists think they are “Cut-em loose Bruce”? (Bruce Wright was a black hate-filled Marxist judge in, as I recall either Wisconsin or Michigan who believed that criminals didn’t need to be held accountable because of poverty or racial discrimination).
He flew within the Communist Party’s fronts orbits for many years.
Just claim to be BLM and you’ll be fine.
