Where are your statements on Jeffries threat and young GOP racist chat?

To: Rep. McGuire

From: A constituent in Charlottesville, VA

Where is your statement on the threat to Hakeem Jeffries’s life? For your reference, in case you missed it: Christopher Moynihan, 34, once convicted for storming the Capitol, is charged with threatening to assassinate House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. He typed out a promise: “Hakeem Jeffries makes a speech in a few days in NYC I cannot allow this terrorist to live” and “Even if I am hated he must be eliminated. I will kill him for the future.” Please condemn this threat of political violence like you have others. I also haven’t seen a statement from you about the racist and antisemitic text group chat filled with young (but not children, they ranged in age from 24-35; those are adults) republican leaders. They included references to putting their opponents in gas chambers and raping them. They called Black people monkeys and “the watermelon people.” One message stated simply, “I love Hitler.” Do you have a statement?
