Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said Tuesday that a man called his office and threatened to show up with an assault rifle to kill the congressman.
The man asked a Swalwell staffer about the congressman's location and said he wanted to speak with him, according to a message detailing the call that Swalwell posted to Twitter.
The caller, who said he was a gay man, "went on a rant regarding gay issues" and "used the F slur several times," according to the message.
