Sen. Thom Tillis Faces Death Threats, Staff Work Remotely

News summary

Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) has decided to avoid certain town hall meetings due to an increase in death threats directed at him and his staff. A memo from his office highlighted a particularly alarming unsigned letter that warned of potential violence against his staff, labeling them as 'sacrificial lambs.' Local Democratic leaders condemned the threats, asserting that such actions do not represent their intentions and can undermine their efforts for political change. Recent voicemails shared by Tillis' office contained violent language, expressing outrage over Trump’s policies, and indicated that threats against lawmakers have become a troubling norm. Data from Capitol Police shows a significant rise in threats against members of Congress, signaling a dire situation for political discourse in the U.S. Tillis' office has advised staff to work remotely during planned protests for their safety.
