Minnesota Dem lobbyist arrested for threatening violence at state Capitol
Quote:A Minnesota lobbyist has been arrested after allegedly sending a text message that threatened violence at the state Capitol. This comes after Democrat lawmakers in the state were targeted in a shooting over the weekend, with one and her husband killed.

41-year-old Jonathan Michael Bohn was taken into custody on Wednesday evening and booked into Carver County Jail on suspicion of threats of violence, per KTSP.

Republican state Rep. Jim Nash said that one of his constituents had received a text message on Wednesday to their personal phone that was "threatening in nature." A House Republican spokesperson said that the threat was not aimed at any specific lawmaker.

Bohn is listed as the Director of Public Affairs at the Inter Faculty Organization, which "represents the interests of faculty at the seven Minnesota State universities," per the group’s website. Bohn’s bio states, "In the halls of the Capitol, Jonathan is regarded as a well-connected advocate who has worked on a variety of issues leading to legislative victories."

Bohn has made multiple donations to ActBlue over the years and to Hillary for America, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Bohn has also made multiple donations to DFL campaign. In a statement, Minnesota DFL said, "Violent threats have no place in our politics and we condemn them unequivocally, no matter who makes them or whom they’re directed toward."

This comes after Vance Boelter was arrested and charged with the shootings of Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, and the killings of Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Boelter also went to the homes of two other lawmakers, who were not at their residences at the time.
