An election worker so mercilessly threatened after a false story about "suitcases under the table" that her co-worker called 911

2. This shit has got to fucking stop!

Normal every day hard-working Americans just trying to do their job getting death threats? It’s reprehensible. There is one person who could go a long way toward putting a stop to this shit. I honestly don’t think he is capable of it. As long as he is alive will go on and get worse

4. Can FBI get better at tracking and arresting anyone making death threats? Anyone. Anyone?

Seems to be Cult 45's favorite passtime.

6. And publicize it. Only way to stop it is to arrest and vigorously prosecute. Zero tolerance.
