Rep. Angie Craig receives vulgar, threatening messages after being attacked in D.C. apartment

Rep. Angie Craig has received a deluge of politically violent and vulgar messages following her attack in her Washington, D.C., apartment building, messages her office says came after a Fox News segment criticizing Democrats for their policing policies. 

Audio released by Craig's office includes vulgar and violent messages, including, "I hope the f*****s get you again," and, "I am so glad that you were attacked." Craig's office released eight examples, with audio, of the messages she has received. They're reporting the messages to U.S. Capitol Police. 

Threats against members of Congress have become increasingly common in recent years, soaring to nearly 10,000 a year after Jan. 6, 2021, a serious concern to members of Congress, their staffs and U.S. Capitol Police.
