A threatening letter, one of many received by Representative Adam Kinzinger and his family, was shown on-line by the Congressman to illustrate what he and others experience every day.
Rep. Kinzinger has been the target of conservative ire ever since he voted to impeach Donald Trump for inciting an attempted coup. He is now derided as a RINO, a Republican In Name Only.
In addition to the Kinzingers, the anonymous letter specifically threatens, by name, the Kinzingers’ 5-month old baby.
Here is the letter. Addressed to my wife, sent to my home, threatening the life of my family. The Darkness is spreading courtesy of cowardly leaders fearful of truth. Is the what you want @GOP? Pastors?

One day later, here in Missouri, Senate candidate Eric Greitens released a campaign video of himself leading a crew of armed men breaking down a door and entering a home.
In the video, he urges viewers to join him in hunting down RINOs.
Presumably, RINOs like Representative Adam Kinzinger.
Such is the dark path publicly followed by some of our fellow citizens.
And when someone is murdered or threatened, it’s always “Well it was a joke! It was an exaggeration! We really didn’t MEAN for people to take us literally!”
Like my then representative Gabby Giffords after they put crosshairs on her in their ad.
Those clowns on the Right are coming for you and for all of us.
The cops may not protect you. They’re not required to.
What are you going to do?
