WASHINGTON _ U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo was threatened on Twitter on Wednesday, the same day packages suspected of containing explosive material were delivered to a host of liberal political figures around the country.
Curbelo, R-Fla., initially addressed the threat directly on his Twitter account.
"Political intoxication is making some Americans more prone to both verbal and physical violence," he tweeted. "It's a serious crisis and we all have to do our part to put an end to it. Not sure what's more disturbing; the fact that someone tweeted this or that 4 accounts liked it."
