A Missouri man reportedly called Congressman Emanuel Cleaver’s (pictured) Independence, Missouri office, used a racial slur, and said, “How about a noose … around his neck?”
Prosecutors allege Kenneth R. Hubert, 63, of Marionville, Missouri made the threats. He was subsequently charged for threatening to assault and kill Cleaver, a U.S. House 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.”

A Missouri man who prosecutors say threatened to lynch a Black congressman the day after the Jan. 6 siege at the U.S. Capitol and a Jewish congressman in 2019 was ordered by a federal judge on Monday to remain in custody.
The man, Kenneth R. Hubert, made the menacing comments toward the two Democratic representatives, Emanuel Cleaver II of Missouri and Steve Cohen of Tennessee, according to prosecutors, who contended that Mr. Hubert’s release on bond would present a danger to the community.
