‘Cuts Off Your F*cking Head’: Jewish GOP Lawmaker Receives Vile Threat

Jewish Republican Ohio Rep. Max Miller received a threat on his life Thursday “just for being a Jewish piece of sh*t.”

Miller, 37, received the spoken threat and posted an audio recording of it to social media, writing, “Every day as a Jewish Member of Congress is another day of receiving these types of threats.” The threat arrived minutes after the attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield, Mich., but it is unclear if the threat was related to that attack.

“Just for being a Jewish piece of sh*t who thinks he owns the world: I hope some f*cking Arab motherf*cker jumps out of the bushes and cuts off your f*cking head,” the man said.

“Threats like this are all too common. America was founded on religious freedom, yet Americans still receive death threats simply for being Jewish,” Miller said in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Antisemitism is vile and has no place in our country. No one should think it’s acceptable to say something like this to anyone, let alone a Member of Congress.”

“I reported this to U.S. Capitol Police and am hopeful they will hold this individual accountable,” Miller added.

Miller pointed to the threat as the reason members of Congress hesitate to hold town halls in their districts, saying, “These are the people waiting for a planned event.”

Earlier Thursday a man drove his car through the front doors of a synagogue in Michigan, injuring one security officer and starting a fire within the building, which contained a school. The suspect died on scene and nobody else was injured.
