The #FBI coordinated w/local authorities in mid-Feb to arrest a heavily #armed man who had threatened to kill all #Jewish elected ofcls in #Michigan on social media, acc/to a recently unsealed #criminal case.…
Jack Eugene Carpenter III, a resident of Tipton, Michigan, had tweeted on Feb. 17 that he was “heading back to Michigan now threatening to carry out the punishment of death to anyone that is jewish in the Michigan govt if they don’t leave, or confess,” according to the FBI’s affidavit.
There are several prominent Jewish elected ofcls in the state, including #AG #DanaNessel, U.S. Rep. #ElissaSlotkin & a handful of state senators & representatives.
In a tweet Thurs, Nessel said the #FBI had confirmed she was one of Carpenter’s targets, & added, “It is my sincere hope that the federal authorities take this offense just as seriously as my #HateCrimes & #DomesticTerrorism Unit takes plots to murder elected officials.”
Four that I know of. Which reminds me, I want to reach out to number four.
