A Democratic Party lawmaker suffered a crushing electoral defeat and is out of her job after sending an unhinged, threatening voicemail to Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) this past July.
The voicemail, which was sent shortly after Sheehy and the majority of his Republican colleagues advanced the Trump-backed “Big Beautiful Bill” spending package that enshrined a number of the president’s most important campaign promises, was sent by Haley McKnight, a candidate for city commissioner in the Montana capital of Helena.
“Hi, this is Haley McKnight. I’m a constituent in Helena, Montana,” McKnight began in her message, which was obtained and reviewed by Fox News. “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. I hope that one day you get pancreatic cancer, and it spreads throughout your body so fast that they can’t even treat you for it.”
