A social media user appeared to make a threat against Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, who referred the message to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The user appeared to post a heinous meme mocking the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk and added, “Your [sic] next buddy turn down the rhetoric.”
Former US Attorney Jay Town responded that the meme and the message could be prosecuted as a threat against the senator’s life.
Lee posted a screenshot of the alleged message, which was deleted from the X platform.
