MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — A spokeswoman for an eastern Indiana Republican congressman says threatening posters have been placed at one of his field offices telling him to “Save America — Kill Yourself.”
Spokeswoman Molly Gillaspie says the 10 posters with the wording above and below a photograph of Rep. Luke Messer were found by staff placed around a window of his Muncie office on Tuesday.
Gillaspie says the Muncie Police Department and the U.S. Capitol Police Department are investigating the incident.
She declined to comment Wednesday on what might have motivated the threat but Republican members of Congress have encountered crowds of concerned and, at times, raucous voters, pressing for explanations of President Donald Trump’s plans for health care, immigration policies and cabinet appointees, among other topics.

While insulting, inappropriate and infantile I don’t think that’s a threat. He should put up a sign that says “I don’t agree with your solution, why not come in and have a conversation”. Of course if that happened all he’d probably get is shouted slogans and waved signs…the left will not engage at the level of ideas.
Why did you remove my comment I made yesterday stating “This could not have been the democrats”?…Now I know what kind of people are writing these stories…Democrats.
I haven’t removed any of your comments, nor has anyone here.
