On Monday, Twitchy reported that Dana Loesch, KFTK 97.1 FM St. Louis and a nationally-syndicated radio talk show host and author of the upcoming book, "Hands off my gun," was the target of death threats on Twitter from an individual identified only as "Gaganna." The tweets were deleted, but not before being captured by Twitchy, according to
examiner.com.
"You need to die too with your ugly a**," tweeted "Gaganna." The Twitter user followed that up with a message indicating he or she knows where Loesch lives and would visit violence upon her.
"I just found out you live where I live," the tweet read. "[D]on't worry, b***h, ima (sic) find yo (sic) weak a**."
Loesch's husband, Chris, posted pictures of the two tweets. Rather than lashing out, Loesch decided the tweets were a good time to remind people of her upcoming book.
Loesch thanked Twitter for suspending the account and expressed hope the FBI would track the person down. Others also expressed hope the authorities would get involved. This isn't the first time Loesch has been targeted with hate on Twitter, as we reported in May. She has also been targeted by pro-gun control groups for her strong support of the Second Amendment.
