They also found a handwritten note that says, “We The People Are The Rightful Masters of Both The Congress And The Courts” and lists “good guys” and “bad guys,” specifically naming Carson, noting parenthetically that he is “one of two Muslims in House of Reps.”

In a statement to News 8, Carson called the note “extremely disturbing”:
“It is extremely disturbing to learn from press reports that I was one of several individuals identified in a list of “good guys” and “bad guys” targeted for attacks. The indicted terrorist had the means and opportunity to carry out his plans to violently attack, injure and destroy government officials and related offices in our Nation’s Capitol. These were not idle threats. These were planned and organized measures to take my life, my colleagues’ lives and try to destroy our government.
