An Ohio councilman says he and his family are hiding at federal officials' advice after 500-plus threats over a post criticizing Charlie Kir
A Munroe Falls councilman says he and his family have gone into hiding at the advice of federal officials after getting more than 500 threats over his Facebook post criticizing Charlie Kirk.
John Impellizzeri said he's in fear for his life after his post following the conservative leader's assassination was shared nationwide by "Libs of TikTok" and other right-wing groups.
Impellizzeri's Facebook account has since been deactivated, but screenshots of the post have been widely circulating on social media.
Impellizzeri said the post, while meant to be critical of things Kirk said during his lifetime, was not intended to condone Kirk's murder.
A local northern Ohio councilman says he and his family have gone into hiding at the advice of federal officials after getting more than 500 threats over his Facebook post criticizing Charlie Kirk.
John Impellizzeri told the USA Today Network's Akron Beacon Journal that he's in fear for his life after his post following the conservative leader's assassination was shared nationwide by "Libs of TikTok" and other right-wing groups.
The threats escalated after the post was shared on X on Sept. 12 by Stephen Miller, the Trump administration's deputy chief of staff for policy.
