Democrat Utah State Rep. Angela Romero told CNN that unidentified callers have explicitly blamed her and her colleagues for Charlie Kirk’s murder and threatened to harm them if they didn’t leave the state, even though she had no idea who Kirk was:
I’ve had some of my Republican colleagues reach out to me because some of us have been receiving intimidating phone calls or messages, emails, because we’re being blamed for the murder of Charlie Kirk.
I didn’t know who Charlie Kirk was really prior to this happening, and so it’s it’s been a real eye-opener for me because I want to talk about gun control, that I’m being blamed for someone’s death.
I mean, I run a lot of legislation on sexual violence, so I’m used to getting threatening phone calls. And I hate to say that the majority of those phone calls are coming from men, and this particular call, out of all the calls we’ve received.
It’s not like we’ve had a lot of phone calls, but out of the phone calls we received, this particular individual decided to call up almost every Democrat and the Democratic Party and just call us names and tell us to move out of the state of Utah, and it was the tone of his voice that was really frightening because we have families just like Charlie Kirk does
