Pohutsky: Threats of violence against lawmakers will continue unless GOP leaders issue ‘full throated condemnation’


When state Rep. Laurie Pohutsky (D-Livonia) shared screenshots of an email she received from a Michigander calling for “mass execution of public officials” “very soon,” the Democrat noted that it is just one of many violent, threatening emails her office receives every day.

Pohutsky told the Advance Wednesday that she mostly feels “numb” to the threats now, but is frightened for the safety of herself and her staffers and wants GOP leaders to better protect their members.

In a tweet thread on Tuesday, Pohutsky wrote: “This was sent to my office this evening from Randall Yaeger, who chose to send it from his work email at Yaeger Construction. This email has already been sent to the authorities after my staffer, Sara, read it. Sara gets emails like this every day.”

The screenshotted email, which was sent to both Democratic and Republican state lawmakers, begins: “IF NOT BALLOTS, THEN BULLETS!” before going on to condemn elected officials for not taking action to (illegally) hand over President-elect Joe Biden’s victory to outgoing President Donald Trump.
