Someone had a stinker of a message for Ohio's Senate Republicans.
All 25 GOP members of the state Senate were sent envelopes stuffed with what is believed to be human feces from a Cleveland post office about a week earlier, state Senate Majority Caucus spokesman John Fortney announced Thursday. The U.S. postal inspector is investigating the matter as a federal crime, he said."I'm really angry about it," Fortney said, News 5 Cleveland reported.
Democrats in the state Senate do not appear to have been targeted, according to Ohio Senate Democrats chief of staff Mike Rowe. Representatives in the Statehouse also appear to have been spared from the ordure. "They should’ve just sent a selfie because it’s the same thing," Fortney added, per News 5 Cleveland."I’d be more than happy to explain it to them in a parking lot or cornfield of their choice.”Even though there had not been public policy issues discussed in the mail, some state Republicans speculated the perpetrator had been motivated by a hot-button topic such as abortion, according to News 5 Cleveland.
"This is a highly charged and emotional issue. There's passion on both sides," one lawmaker said."But we need to engage in civil discourse." Ohio's Heartbeat Protection Act recently went into effect, prohibiting abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected except in cases of medical emergencies. The measure was allowed to go into effect after the Supreme Court overturned the precedents first established in Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed a national right to abortion access.
