Montana Democrat who sent violent threats to Tim Sheehy loses her election and job
A Montana Democrat lost her election and job after her voicemail of violent threats to Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) was revealed.
Haley McKnight, a former store manager of the retail gift shop Sage and Oats Trading Post in Helena, Montana, was running as a Democratic candidate for the Helena City Commission. On Monday, just one day before the election, a July 2 voicemail she left for Sheehy, in which she identified herself by her first and last name, was revealed. Despite already having declared her candidacy, McKnight voiced disturbing and violent threats against Sheehy. The audio of her voicemail quickly spread on social media.
McKnight's voicemail began by identifying herself and her general location, followed by heated insults over Sheehy's support for President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill."
"Hi. This is Haley McKnight. I'm a constituent in Helena, Montana, and I just wanted to let you know that you are the most insufferable kind of coward and thief. You just stripped away healthcare for 17 million Americans. And I hope you're really proud of that," she began.
The voicemail then abruptly turned violent, with McKnight wishing Sheehy an excruciating death.
