The FBI is leading an investigation into the origins of several โsuspiciousโ packages that were delivered to Republican representatives in the Tenessee House of Representatives.
According to House Speaker Cameron Sexton, the affected offices and areas in the immediate vicinity at the state capitol have been cordoned off until the all clear is given.
The Daily Wire reports:
โI am aware of a possible issue involving the legislative offices of some members of House Republican leadership receiving in the mail a white powder substance,โ Sexton said. โThe sixth floor has been placed on lockdown out of an abundance of caution, and hazmat teams are on scene assessing the situation.โ
A source familiar with the investigation told The Daily Wire that the letter mirrored very closely the threatening letters received by Kansas Republican lawmakers. Both were signed by โyour secret despiserโ and the return address was listed for a transgender activist who died several years ago.
โThe letters contained obvious threats made by a liberal activist specifically targeting Republicans. The sixth floor of the Cordell Hull Building remains on lockdown while Homeland Security and first responders investigate. All employees and members in the building are safe,โ House Republicans said.
Days ago, Republican legislators and officials in Kansas haveย reported receiving โcrypticโ lettersย containing white powder since Friday, with some officials speculating they are politically motivated.
One lawmaker in Topeka opined that the threatening packages were related to the GOP dominated legislature's ability to override Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly's vetoes. The United States Postal Service unknowingly delivered almost 100 such letters containing the suspicious white powder to the Kansas State Capitol.
All were reportedly mailed to Republican members of the statehouse.

And yet another story of the so-called inclusiveness of the left. Why is it that they cannot see just how despicable and hate-filled their thinking is?
Democrats across the nation approve of this story (polite clapping ensues).

Oh, well, if “the FBI is investigating,” we already know the Russians did it! and we’ll learn the evidence for that conclusion after the ’24 elections. Unless redactions prevent any meaningful interpretation…
Let’s go, Brandon!
Did the FBI send the suspicious packages to Republicans?
