U.S. Capitol Police Opened Investigation Into Mark Kelly Supporter Who Threatened Republican Congressman – By Alana Goodman (Free Beacon) / Sept 8 2020
U.S. Capitol Police are investigating a supporter of Democratic Senate candidate and gun-control advocate Mark Kelly for allegedly threatening to shoot Republican representative Paul Gosar (Ariz.).
Kelly, who is currently leading in the race against incumbent senator Martha McSally (R.), has been a vocal advocate for stricter gun laws since the 2011 assassination attempt on his wife, former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. He condemned the death threat against Gosar on Twitter on Tuesday, a week after Gosar’s office received the calls, but did not mention that the suspect was an active Kelly supporter on social media.
“I know what it means to have an act of violence committed against a member of Congress and family member,” said Kelly on Twitter. “I strongly condemn this threat against Rep. Gosar. Threats of violence like this are wrong. I’m glad Capitol Police is investigating.”
Kelly did not respond to a separate request for comment from the Washington Free Beacon
