A Philadelphia man named Norman Leboon has been arrestedafter recording a YouTube message threatening Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), who has accused Democrats of “fanning the flames” of outrage by publicizing threats against them since the health care vote.
Cantor spokesman Brad Dayspring responds with a timeline and the word that the office won’t issue any more comments about this. The timeline puts the threat several days after Cantor’s “fanning the flames” comments, which came in response to a bullet hole being found in an office he sometimes uses.
“„Over the weekend, Congressman Cantor was notified by law enforcement that a threat was made against his life. Law enforcement officials informed Congressman Cantor that the threat was determined as credible and they were responding accordingly. The Congressman was later notified that an arrest was made and a suspect was in custody.
“„At this time, the Congressman will have no further comment on this threat or the investigation, and asks that inquiries be directed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Congressman is deeply grateful for, and would like to dearly thank all local and federal law enforcement involved, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Attorney’s Office in Virginia and Philadelphia, U.S. Capitol Police and the Henrico Police Department in Virginia.
