(RightIsRight.co) – Claims of death threats have rocked West Virginia’s political sphere as incoming member of the House of Delegates Democrat Joseph de Soto was arrested for threatening his once-Republican colleagues.
De Soto, who recently switched from the Republican Party to the Democrats, reportedly claimed that “God called him to kill them,” specifically naming several lawmakers, including House Speaker Roger Hanshaw.
This alleged divine instruction to harm officials raises serious questions about de Soto’s mental state and the dangerous rhetoric being normalized within leftist circles.
The West Virginia State Police charged de Soto with “terroristic threats,” setting a bond at $300,000.
This hefty sum underscores the gravity of the situation and the potential danger de Soto poses to his colleagues and the public.
The Democrat’s threats have caused significant concern among lawmakers, with some even relocating their families for safety.
Delegate Wayne Clark revealed, “I received a phone call that I’ve been named in a death threat and I have to move my family to safety. I instructed the kids to leave the house.”
The arrest comes amid concerns about the truthfulness of de Soto’s military and professional background, leading to an investigation.
This development raises questions about the vetting process for Democrat candidates and the party’s willingness to embrace individuals with questionable backgrounds for political gain.
Moreover, in a disturbing email, de Soto expressed his anger, stating he “won’t stop” and threatened that the lawmakers “can all go to Hell.”
“They play stupid games, they are getting stupid awards … I have only begun … and won’t stop. I had a vision to destroy them from the angel of Moroni,” the email read.
While de Soto has pleaded not guilty and is considered innocent until proven otherwise, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of protecting elected officials and the democratic process from threats of violence.
As we approach the next legislative session, scheduled to reconvene in February 2025, it is crucial that measures are taken to ensure the safety of all delegates and to prevent such threats from disrupting the important work of governing.
The West Virginia State Police and Capitol Police are handling the safety of delegates.
Still, this incident raises questions about whether additional security measures are needed to protect elected officials from the growing threat of leftist violence.
