No word yet on whether this guy supports the Occupy Wall Street movement, but the profile certainly matches.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The FBI says a Tennessee man has been charged with threatening the family of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia.
Agents arrested 62-year-old Glendon Swift of Lenoir City on Wednesday.
He is accused of leaving two voicemail messages at Cantor’s office in suburban Richmond on the evening of Oct. 27. In the profanity-laced messages, the caller uses an anti-Semitic slur. He also says he is going to destroy Cantor, rape his daughter and kill his wife.
Swift made a preliminary appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge C. Clifford Shirley Jr. in Knoxville on Thursday.
Cantor spokeswoman Laena Fallon said the six-term Republican congressman had no comment on the threats.
Court records do not list an attorney for Swift. He faces a maximum of 10 years in prison if convicted.
