Naturally, an email of this nature prompted the 2020 candidate to get in contact with law enforcement. Yang’s campaign also subsequently issued a public statement in the wake of the aforementioned threats.
An excerpt of the statement reads as follows:
“Due to certain specific information contained in the emails, and out of an abundance of caution, we immediately contacted the FBI and local enforcement and [are] working with them.”
Additional parts of the statement then go on to note the importance of Yang’s safety and the safety of all who work for him.
How is Andrew Yang’s Presidential Campaign Faring?
At this time, Andrew Yang’s national poll numbers remain at a fairweather 3%. Moreover, the 2020 Democrat has recently called out MSNBC, accusing the network of censorship and failing to grant him enough speaking time at the fifth Democrat debate.
Therefore, Yang announced his decision to boycott MSNBC. The candidate also explained that he seeks an apology and won’t appear on their network until he gets one.
