CBSN
Washington — After voting in favor of the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill on Friday, Republican Congressman Fred Upton of Michigan received a threatening voicemail in which the caller repeatedly called him a "traitor" and said he hopes the congressman, his family and staff all die.
The voicemail, provided by Upton's office, was played during an appearance by the Michigan Republican on CNN's "AC360" and is one of several his office has received in the wake of the infrastructure vote Friday, according to the congressman.
"F**king traitor. That's what you are. You're a f**king piece of s**t traitor. I hope you die. I hope everybody in your f**king family dies. You f**king piece of s**t trash motherf**ker," the unidentified male caller tells Upton on the message. "You voted for d*****s f**king Biden? You're stupider than he is."
