A Pentagon cybersecurity contractor has been charged with threatening a member of Congress.
Darryl Albert Varnum of Westminster, Maryland, left the threatening voicemail for Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson over a bill called The Vaccinate All Children Act, which would require public schools to vaccinate children, the Daily Beast reported. The phone call was made on June 28, 2019.
“I’m gonna kill your ass if you do that bill. I swear,” his voicemail began. “I will f—ing come down and kill your f—ing ass. And you’re a congressperson, that’s fine. I hope the f—ing FBI, CIA and everybody else hears this shit.”
“This is the United States of America, bitch. Get the f— out,” Varnum continued. “I’ll tell you what I’ll come down to Miami, bitch. I’ll f— you up. Like the Cubans don’t even know.”
The Daily Beast also reported that Varnum posted about the act on his Facebook page and compared it to the Holocaust.
