Greene expressed her sadness over the incident, saying ‘I pray it never happens again.
A woman was killed in an auto accident involving a police officer who was en route to respond to a bomb threat against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), according to the congresswoman.
Greene identified the woman as Tammie Pickelsimer.
“These violent political threats have fatal consequences. It’s an undue strain on our law enforcement who must treat them seriously. The officer was responding to protect my life. And now, a woman has lost her life because of this despicable act,” said Greene in her post.
“I’m sick to my stomach, but I’m also angry. This should have never happened and I pray it never happens again.”
The Epoch Times reached out to the police department in Rome, Georgia, for comment but received no response by publication time.
The threat had pro-Palestinian language, according to Greene’s office.
“Using a 1 x 8 inch threaded galvanized pipe, end caps, a kitchen timer, some wires, metal clips, and homemade black powder, I’ve constructed a pipe bomb which I recently hid in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s mailbox at [redacted address],” stated the threat.
“It is set to go off during the weekend but it would also explode the next time anybody opens the mailbox. Even if Marjorie does not open the mailbox herself I’m still satisfied with the prospect of some pig cops losing their lives or being injured. Viva Viva Palestina.”
This was not the first time Greene has been threatened.
