WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says a letter containing ricin or another poision was sent to the office of Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi.

In brief remarks to reporters in the Capitol, Reid did not say when the letter was sent. It’s customary for mail addressed to congressional offices to be screened at an off-site facility.

Sen. Roger Wicker ?
Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi?
HUH? Sending something deadly to a Senator usually means sending it to an influential Senator. Roger Wicker is not only a backbencher, He sits behind the backbench. As an influential member of the Senate, he is probably the least influential Senator since Theodore Bilbo. Sad to say since I voted for him twice.

The libs are saying it was sent to him because of his vote for cloture or something, so they are using it against us.
