An activist for Arizona Senate candidate Mark Kelly (D) allegedly threatened on Monday to shoot Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) in the head.
The Arizona Daily Independent identified the Kelly supporter as retired teacher Margaret Kathleen Spangenberg. She allegedly made the threat during a phone call Monday.
The Independent posted a transcript of the phone call:
WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE
So, the way I see it, since you supported a child rapist who has 65 years of crimes and you are doing shit about Covid, and I’ve had people die, I think it’s totally ok for me to come with my gun and shoot you in the head.
That’s what we think of you Mr. Gosar. You’re a murderer supporter and you are just going down. Murderer, murderer, murderer supporter, you are going down.
And we’ll make sure we’ll send lots of protesters your way too.
You’re a real big fucking piece of shit.
On Sunday. September 5, 2020, Rep. Gosar tweeted about the phone call:
Two days earlier — on September 3, 2020 — Gosar tweeted about discussing the threat with 550 KFYI’s James Harris: “I was on the James Harris Show to discuss political violence and a death threat against me from a Mark Kelly activist.”
