CHICAGO (WLS) The ABC7 I-Team has obtained a recording of what federal authorities call explicit threats to kill Democrats including President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and others at the White House, allegedly made by a Chicago Heights man now in custody.
Louis Capriotti, 45, from Chicago Heights is accused of threatening a slaughter coinciding with Wednesday s presidential inauguration in a vile voicemail left on a member of Congress s phone.
In the voicemail, prosecutors allege Capriotti said, if these (expletive) Republicans and these Democrat (expletive) terrorists think that Joe Biden is going to put his hand on the Bible and walk into that (expletive) White House on January 20th, they re sadly (expletive) mistaken.
US President-elect Joseph R Biden will take the oath to become the 46th president of the United States today. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will also be sworn in at the West Front of the US capitol during the 59th Presidential Inauguration ceremony. The security in the capital has been beefed up following the January 6 Capitol riots.
