The Iowa Democratic Party closed its headquarters Friday after receiving a death threat, Chairman Mark Smith wrote in an email to county party leaders.

"Recently, the Iowa Democratic Party received a message threatening the lives of party staff," Smith said in a statement confirming the threat to the Des Moines Register. "In response, we immediately closed the Des Moines office headquarters and notified authorities."

The threat comes as tensions are high following an assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of outgoing Republican President Donald Trump Wednesday.

Stuff like this is why Donald Trump, his co-conspirators and  his mooks all need to end up in jail. If we don't soon stop it within the bounds of law, it will become the new standard.

I feel this needs said again.

Can't help point out all the people harassing, doxing, threatening, assaulting, and murdering Trump critics over the last four years suddenly care about free speech when the one giving the orders can't do so anymore.
