Rep. Peter King’s Office Receives Bloody Pig’s Foot In Mail
It’s unclear whether this was a botched remake of the famous Godfather scene or a botched remake of the famous Rahm Emanuel story, but New York Rep. Peter King received a strange package today: a bloody pig’s foot, possibly in protest of his recent calls for investigating Muslim groups for involvement in terror.
The story, via AP:
Capitol Police are investigating a bloody pig’s foot sent to New York Rep. Peter King’s office in Washington.
The Republican congressman chairs the House Homeland Security panel which held hearings last month on Islamic radicalization.
The package was discovered by mail screeners before it was delivered to King’s office.
A King spokesman says the congressman was notified of the package on Monday afternoon.
Fox News also got comment from Rep. King’s chief of staff, Kevin Fogarty, who confirmed the package never reached its destination, as “all congressional mail is screened before it gets here.” Rep. King, a Republican, along with the Islamic Radicalization hearings has made a name for himself sparring with Rep. Anthony Weiner over 9/11 aid and going after Julian Assange.
Along with the pig’s foot, the package contained a note with some anti-Semitic references, it has been reported, a sign that the pig’s foot was, in fact, related to those controversial hearings. Of course, Rep. King is Catholic, so the anti-Semitic references, if intended as personal insult, miss the mark.
