DES MOINES, Iowa (WHO13) A 48-year-old Stuart man is charged with First Degree Harassment for leaving a profane voicemail with the office of Governor Kim Reynolds earlier this year. In the phone call, Harvey Hunter is accused of telling the Governor she should be hung or face a firing squad for “pushing this COVID scam.”
The phone message was left with the Governor’s office on January 5th, according to a police report. The report says Hunter was upset about recent COVID-19 regulations when he placed the call. He referred to the Governor as a “treasonous dictator” and other disparaging names. He suggests that the Governor should be “hung for treason” and that “every single one of ya pushing this expletive COVID scam, you need to hit the firing squad.”
