U.S. Sen. Susan Collins’ office on Tuesday said it has been asked to contact police after a message urging her to codify Roe v. Wade was written in chalk outside her home.
"Because Senator Collins periodically gets threatening letters and phone calls, we have been advised by Capitol Police to notify the local police department when there is activity directed around her home," her office said Tuesday.
Collins' office included two examples of recent threats she had received in the statement: a letter that claimed the"angel of death" would"visit" her house soon and a voicemail in which a man said he would"kill" her if she voted a certain way. It continued,"You will pay a high price for your treasonous acts against this nation. You thought you would get by with selling this country off to the highest bidder along with all who are with you, and that’s the farthest thing from the truth. All of you will pay for the damage you have caused against MY nation, the United States of America, and Israel.
