A Chicago man has been arrested and charged after authorities say he left threatening voicemails for a Republican gubernatorial candidate.
Scott Lennox, 21, said in one message that he was going “to skin Darren Bailey alive” after killing the candidate’s family, according to a filing from the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office that was obtained by The Epoch Times.
“He better kill himself and if he doesn’t, I am going to kill him,” Lennox said.
Lennox also described Bailey—an Illinois state senator who is running against Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker—as a racist white person and said he knew where Bailey and his children sleep.
Lennox’s phone number was recorded on the caller id and he admitted to making the calls when officers with the Illinois Secretary of State Police went to his home, according to the filing. However, police declined to arrest him or transport him for further questioning.
Illinois State Police were made aware of the threat and their investigation led to Lennox’s arrest.
Lennox was charged with threatening a public official and two counts of harassment, all felonies. He faces up to 11 years in prison if convicted.

He’ll probably find jail a much different environment from his parents’ basement.
Illinois Secretary of State POLICE?? WTF??? PLUS they would NOT ARREST the Wanna Be Killer!!
Right after biden’s hate Republicans speech.
At least no assault hammers were used.
I’m guessing he’s a Starbuck’s Barista!
What a coincidence right?
Where’s the round the clock media coverage?
Queue up the Deliverance theme song!
I’m guessing he’s a Democrat brainwashed hack .......................
I wonder what his u/reddit handle is?
FIB: “Don’t arrest him yet! We don’t have his “MAGA Country” website quite done.”
He’s got that same insane and crazy liberal look all the killers have. Aunt Teefah fascist wannabes.
Will a supermajority of Chicago voters help to keep Illinois a “very politically blue” state?
Purdy Mouf.....................
NO he is MAGA, and a Q anon supporter. LOL
If he said that about Trump he would have been given an”AR-style assault weapon” and a map.
Oh noooo.another mega maga right wing threat to democracy….they’re everywhere!!!
White liberal, that figures. My bet is that he has an Antifa and Black Lies Matter flag in his parent’s basement.
