Letter Threatening Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Democrat Supporters Delivered To Maryland Home

An investigation has been launched after a letter threatening those planning to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris was delivered to a house in Maryland.

The Secret Service has also been informed of the letter after the male sender allegedly described how he wanted to attack the Democratic presidential nominee and rape his running mate, as well as execute them both on air.

The letter was delivered to an address in Frederick on Sunday morning which had Biden-Harris signs in the yard, reported WBAL.

"The beginning of the letter makes some general threats about people supporting particular candidates," Frederick police Lt. Kirk Henneberry said.

Take special note that these sick fuckers not only want to assassinate both our candidates, they want to also rape Sen Harris. Disgusting and I hope whoever sent this is apprehended quickly.

Hopefully they catch them and throw them in jail. As an aside, why do rwingers assume democrats are not armed ? Just because we are not militant wingnuts does not mean some of us dont own weapons, especially out in rural areas. I have bears regularly trying to crash my beehives, you can bet I am armed ( I never had to shoot any bear, just scare them away)

my brother joined the Peace Corps and there was an article in the local paper about it. We did get threatening letters - some even with cut out words from newspapers. We had to contact the FBI. I'm six years his junior, so I was kind of confused. We were "accused" of being 'n' lovers and Jews and threatened.

This does not surprise me.
