Muslim candidate for Congress in NJ posts death threat phone call

[Gefn]

A Muslim woman running for Congress in New Jersey's 6th Congressional District posted audio of a death threat she received to demonstrate what she says Muslims and minorities have to deal with.

Amani al-Khatahtbeh will be on the ballot as a Democrat in the July 7 primary running for the seat held by the Democrat Frank Pallone since 1993. She is also the founder of the website MuslimGirl.com and was named by CNN as one of the 25 most influential American Muslims.

"Sharing this here because people need to know this experience. I received this phone call from an unknown number shortly after our first virtual townhall this week. A death threat," al-Khatahtbeh wrote on her social media platforms.

She said it isn't the first death threat she has received and explained that she posted audio of the threat because "it’s important to understand what Muslims and minorities have to deal with on an everyday basis"

For a Democrat, Pallone has been a good congressman.  16 terms speaks to this.
No Republican is running in this race/on the ballot (As of today)

I'm not diminishing the stupidity and reprehensibility of the threat, but is there a moderate-high level pol of any party who has not received a death threat?
