Angie Craig’s office criticizes Fox News after receiving threatening messages over DC attack

The office of Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) is criticizing Fox News after the lawmaker received a number of vulgar and threatening messages after a man attacked her in her Washington, D. C. apartment building.

Some of the audio recordings mention a segment on “The Five” and then criticize Craig in the wake of the attack in which an assailant grabbed her by the neck and punched her in the face.

“I’m listening to your story on ‘The Five,'” one person says in one of the recordings. The person then incorrectly says that Craig got attacked in Minnesota before continuing.

“Well that’s what you get for turning that what, five or six time felon, crack-smoking, fentanyl-eating, counterfeit money-passing, armed robber holding guns on fetusus, n****r (George) Floyd as a public hero,” the caller stated.

Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer who knelt on his neck led to sweeping calls for police reform and racial justice in the United States.

Other messages the lawmaker shared include: “I hope the f*****s get you again,” and, “I am so glad that you were attacked.”

Craig’s office is drawing a link between the messages and an episode of “The Five.”

During that edition, co-host Geraldo Rivera said the lawmaker, was “very brave, heroic, almost,” before noting that critics had linked Craig to the defund the police movement
