WASHINGTON DC, July 29, 2021 ~ Wednesday, Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey testified before a US House panel, saying she and her coworkers have received death threats due to claims that President Biden stole the election from former President Donald Trump.
“Our lives are being threatened. They are coming to our homes, they are calling us names, threatening to blow up our blocks and blow up where we live,” said Winfrey to 760 WJR’s Kevin Dietz.
In one instance, a man came to her street, saying he had been looking for her.
“I decided to go take a walk,” she told Kevin Dietz. “This man gets out of the car posted on the corner of my block, and I’m two houses from the corner, and he says, ‘Janice I’ve been looking for you, I’ve been waiting for you at work so I decided to come to your house.’
She said the man only stopped approaching her when told him she had COVID-19 and would spit on him if he came any closer.
