Man pleads guilty for threatening to lynch Rep. Cleaver and another lawmaker

• Hubert admitted that he called Cohen's office in May 2019 and told a staff member he had "a noose with the congressman’s name on it" and he planned to "put a noose around his neck and drag him behind his pickup truck."
• The FBI contacted Hubert about the incident and he said he made the call because "he was offended by a comment Representative Cohen previously made about then-President Donald Trump," a court document says
• A day after the Jan. 6 insurrection, Hubert phoned Cleaver's office and called him a racial slur, said he was "as dumb as a rock" and added: "How about a noose around his neck?" Hubert said he did not like that Cleaver ended the opening prayer on the first day of Congress by saying, "Amen and A-woman."

Worth noting: Prosecutors noted that Hubert had a history of making threatening calls. He called the Missouri Democratic Party the day of the insurrection and said members should "stay in hiding," the New York Times reports.

• He also called a Montana federal judge after the state ruled in 2014 that its ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional.
