A Missouri man reportedly called Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s Independence officer, used a racial slur and said, “How about a noose … around his neck?”
Prosecutors allege Kenneth R. Hubert, 63, of Marionville, made the threats. He was subsequently charged for threatening to assault and kill Cleaver, a Democrat representing the Kansas City area. The Justice Department announced last week that Hubert called in on January 7 with the “intent to impede, intimidate and interfere.”
According to the Kansas City Star, prosecutors alleged on Jan. 6, a voicemail from Hubert allegedly said, “You motherf s better stay in hiding. Steal the election, we got something for you.”
Man accused of threatening Cleaver will remain in prison
