A Virginia man who works as an Uber driver tweeted threats to shoot at least two U.S. senators, according to testimony at a hearing Monday in a Virginia court. Kyler Schmitz has been ordered held in jail.
In at least one of the tweets, sent in the days immediately after the Orlando nightclub shooting, Schmitz allegedly threatened to shoot Sen. Roy Blunt, a Republican of Missouri. The message was directed at Blunt's official Twitter handle.
The tweets, which included graphic and violent language, led to an investigation by U.S. Capitol Police.

Yes. I saw his homowife on the news, and he said at the end, “It was just a joke. People tweet that kind of stuff all the time.”
I’m sure he’s worried that his homowife won’t be faithful in prison.
He was just released with an ankle bracelet and told to stay away from Twitter, and get a psych exam.
