The Virginia State Police confirmed on Wednesday they are investigating a death threat made Tuesday against gubernatorial candidate and former Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D).

"The Virginia State Police is in receipt of the threat and has forwarded it to our Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management Team, as is done with any email of an alarming/threatening nature that is received by a candidate running for elected office. No arrest or charges have been placed at this time," Corinne Geller, public relations director for the Virginia State Police, said in a statement.

A few weeks out from election day and he gets a death threat???? Things that make you go hmmm.

[17th Miss Regt]

Why did his staff send him that e-mail?

[Howie66]

Next up, they will be investigating the Loch Ness “monster”.

[Chickenhawk Warmonger]

going for the orange man bad vote - he’ll probably claim it came from a trump supporter.

[gundog]

Stacey Abrams told them to.

These people get death threats all the time. This is nothing more than theater.

[dforest]

Terry wants pity.

[ConservativeInPA]

Probably a politely worded email from a domestic terrorist parent. Government has lost all credibility. They constantly stifle free speech. It has come to the point that government cannot be taken seriously.

[dynachrome]

Right on schedule.

[ComputerGuy]

Here come the speeding tickets.

[Skywise]

Wow... remember the outrage when Kathy Griffin made death threats or Robert De Niro?

Naahh... death threats are only shocking when there’s a D behind the name. Otherwise they’re free speech.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

His internal numbers must be REALLY bad to resort to hoax death threats.

[AppyPappy]

Trying everything to make it look legit but still cheating to win

[Chad C. Mulligan]

The acrid odor of flop sweat is in the air.

[glennaro]

Betcha it’s one of those Louden County school moms the FBI hasn’t rounded up yet!

[AnglePark]

His internal numbers must be REALLY bad to resort to hoax death threats.

He was already managing an absolutely terrible campaign, and running scared from that comment about parents, but walking out of that interview the other day may have been his Howard Dean moment. I'm sure his numbers are horrible.

“Louden County school moms”

...no doubt. Even MS 13 quivers at the thought.

[SMARTY]

He told them to do it

[DesertRhino]

If they really were, there wouldn’t be a news release. They are trying to cool off anyone who wants to voice their opinion.

[PghBaldy]

The late, great Annette Funicello probably received death threats too.
