Bronx Representative Ritchie Torres has urged the Capitol Police to investigate threats made against him by 19-year-old Guy Christensen, an anti-Israel activist. Christensen, who posted a video on X criticizing Torres, suggested violent repercussions for his stance on Israel, stating, 'if you’re still alive, you'll end up in a Nuremberg trial.' Torres responded by highlighting the threatening implications of Christensen’s rhetoric and expressed concerns about the potential for violence against public officials, especially in light of rising threats in recent years. The Capitol Police have not publicly commented on the investigation request.
Christensen has openly defended the cold-blooded murder of a young Jewish couple and has lionized their murderer as a 'resistance fighter.'
Torres expressed grave concern over Christensen's threats, citing a chilling implication that he may be targeted or harmed.
The phrase 'if you're still alive' carries a chilling and menacing implication-suggesting that I may be targeted or harmed.
Given the sharp rise in threats against Members of Congress, I am compelled to treat this matter with the utmost seriousness and to err on the side of caution.
