NH student allegedly threatened US Representative, accused them of ‘coming for the gays’

A college student has been accused of making a threatening phone call to a member of Congress.

The Keene State College student is accused of making the cellphone call to the congressional office of a U.S. House member last week, leaving a message on a voicemail saying, “if you keep on coming for the gays, we’re gonna strike back,” according to an FBI affidavit.

The message said, “We will kill you if that what it takes,” and the caller left a name and number.

The representative was not identified.

The student told investigators he did not actually plan to harm others or himself, does not own firearms, and was “emotional and intoxicated” when he left the message, the affidavit said.

He is accused of making a threat in interstate communication.

His lawyer described him as a “a peaceful young man and student. He means no ill will toward anybody and does not believe in violence or disruptive protest. He is mindful of the allegations against him and will allow the legal process to continue without further comment at this time.”

The student was scheduled for an appearance in federal court in Concord on Monday afternoon.
