Iowa man fined for harassing TV weatherman over climate change
By: Clark Kauffman - September 20, 2022 2:00 pm
An Iowa man has been fined $150 for sending a string of harassing emails to a television meteorologist concerning climate change.
Police and court records indicate that on June 21, Danny H. Hancock, 63, of Lenox, began sending emails to Chris Gloninger, the chief meteorologist for KCCI, Channel 8 News, in Des Moines.
At 5:35 p.m. that day, Hancock wrote to Gloninger, Getting sick and tired of your liberal conspiracy theory on the weather, climate changes every day, always has, always will, your pushing nothing but a Biden hoax, go back to where you came from.
A few days later, Hancock wrote to Gloninger: You are worthless Biden puppet, a liar, a conspiracy theorist, and an idiot!!! You give Iowa a bad name, GO HOME B-.
A few hours after that message was sent, Hancock sent another email in which he referenced Brett Kavanaugh, an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court: Whats your address, we conservative Iowans would like to give you an Iowan welcome you will never forget, kinda like the l gave JUDGE KAVANAUGH!!!!!!! ...
On July 12, Hancock wrote again, stating: I dont watch your worthless weather forecast because your an idiot but someone else texted me and said you are still an idiot, go the hell back where you came from DOUCHEBAG!!!
On July 15, Hancock wrote again, this time referencing Anthony Fauci, the immunologist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who has helped lead the fight against COVID-19, and told Gloninger to go east and drown from the ice cap melting you dumbf!!!!!!!

Yes, excellent point. I just know Joe Biden better. I've seen him up close for years.
