Congressional Democrats celebrated Rep. Frederica Wilson on Wednesday by wearing stickers adorned with a red cowboy hat and posing for a group picture on the steps of the Capitol.
But one notable person was missing: Wilson herself.
A source close to Wilson confirmed that the Florida Democrat was not in Washington this week due to ongoing threats against her after she criticized President Donald Trump's handling of a conversation with the family of Sgt. La David Johnson, who was killed during an Oct. 4 ambush in Niger.
Congressional vote tallies show that Wilson last voted Oct. 12, before the House adjourned for a weeklong break. She has missed 19 votes between Monday and Wednesday this week.
"Nothing else would keep her from voting," the source said.
Wilson did not respond to a request for comment.
"She's home," said Rep. Alcee Hastings, a Florida Democrat. "I have not spoken with her about it, but I've heard that she's received substantial death threats and I think she is doing everything she can to ratchet down and let some of us, including me, take over."
Hastings said she expected Wilson to return next week.
One racist threat against Wilson that surfaced on Facebook by a Chicago-area man is being investigated by police.
"Need ten good men to help carry out a lynching," the post read. "Must have own horse and saddle. Rope will be provided. This congresswomen (sic) is a disgusting pig. Someone should take their boot to her face."
The source close to Wilson said that there are "some" ongoing investigations into threats on the congresswoman.....

Frederica is not only playing the Race Card she is playing the victim card. It reminds me of blacks setting a cross on fire in their yard and pretending it was because of those racist whites.
i am sick and tired of these bigots whipping up hatred in America. Why don’t they work to improve their district communities?
PRESIDENT Trump receives thousands of “death threat” each day. He still goes to work.
Oh, if Alcee Hastings said that dude Fred Wilson has been threatened, I’m gonna sure believe that........./s
I agree. Its a simple thing to travel to DC. She is a drama queen
Must be the same “Death Threats” Jim McElwain says he got.
She’s probably sitting around with pals laughing her a$$ off, got a few days to play on the taxpayer’s dime. You go girl! We’ll be fine without you.
Bull sheeeeit!
Democrats are such friggin’ liars and the black idiot one’s like her are the absolute worst.
She’s embarrassed herself to the Nth degree and is to disgraced to show her ugly face.
Whoever wrote the above has the mentality of a 12yo and has never met a cowboy. First of all, horses and saddles aren't required for a hanging - lynchings are usually mobs on foot. Second of all, associating cowboy images (horses and saddles) with lynching is trying to categorize cowboy violence as wypepo, when history shows that many western cowboys were men of color, and third, any self-respecting cowboy would already have a rope and a saddle.
Mic. Drop.
Ain’t no sense being one if you don’t act like one.
Quit
False flag.
An empty chair.
With:
An empty barrel.
That keeps in the cowboy theme. Also isn't that what General Kelly called her that she claimed was a racist comment?
The “lynching” post may turn out to be a typical leftist false flag hoax. From what I read the guy in IL may not have said anything like that — someone may have created a digital mashup of his Facebook page with those words added. I read (sorry can’t recall where) that he had a heated FB thread with people attacking him and then some anonymous leftard may have gone on to create this false “meme” about him calling for a lynching.
It wouldn’t be in the least surprising if this turns out to be yet another total hoax. It needs full investigation.
Bullshit. It’s just that there’s no “free buffets” in DC this week.
Don’t remind me of the spreads the lobbyists laid out.
Yes.
She’s a bit of bait short of a bait bucket too.
Once again, as always, if one is getting threats then why tell us? That’s a job for law enforcement.
