GOP rep shares threatening voicemail after infrastructure vote
By Cameron Jenkins - 11/09/21 07:32 AM EST

Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) revealed on Monday that he received a threatening voicemail just days after voting for the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

During an appearance on CNN's "AC360," Upton told Anderson Cooper that a person called him and left a message saying "I hope you die," according to CNN.

"I hope everybody in your f---ing family dies," the caller reportedly added, saying the Republican lawmaker was a "f---ing piece of s--- traitor."


Upton voted alongside 12 other members of his party and House Democrats last Friday in favor of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure package. Under the legislation, Americans will see investments into the country's infrastructure, including waterways, roads, bridges, airports, railroad and mass transit.

After the vote, Upon said in a tweet that he was disappointed that the bill had become "a political football."

"Our country can’t afford this partisan dysfunction any longer," he wrote.
