Media outlets are reporting that the Washington D.C. office of Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rep. Peter King (R-NY), was sent a bloody pig’s foot with a note attached that contained anti-Semitic ramblings.
The U.S. Postal Service apparantly intercepted an anti-semitic note which referenced King’s recent hearings on Islamic radicalization in the United States. In addition, the package had a severed pigs foot.
CBS New reports that the parcel was intercepted at the Congressional mail facility in Landover, Maryland, where mail sent to lawmakers is screened for security risks.
The U.S. Capitol Police and U.S. Postal Service confirmed that there is an open investigation, though would not confirm the details of what was contained in the parcel because the investigation is ongoing. King’s office, which did not see the parcel, referred all questions to the Capitol Police.
According to the Postal Service, a hazardous materials response team tested the parcel and found it to be non-hazardous.

Just more proof that his hearings were the correct thing. It wouldn’t shock me if the culprit is some “radical American Muslim”
These jihadists feel that America has no right to defend herself from jihadists.
Well, someone has to say it, so it might as well be me: There is something not quite kosher about this story.
