So as many of the January 6th defendants were locked up in terrible conditions (some in solitary confinement) with no bail, here in Houston a man who threatened to kill Sen. Ted Cruz and other Texas Republicans was freed on PR bond by Harris County Democrat Judge Robert Johnson.
That man, Isaac Nformangum, 22, is now a wanted fugitive after not showing up to court.
Nformangum, 22, was arrested on a felony charges of terroristic threat for threatening violence and murder against Sen. Cruz and other members of the Texas Republican Party.
He phoned in the threat to Cruz’s office reportedly saying:
“Hello and good afternoon Senator Rafael. This is one of the many Afro-American constituents of whom you are representative of here in Texas, as you currently serve from the Senate. [Sigh] I have just read the, uh, Texas Republican parties platform for this current 2022 year, uh, wherein it is apparent that your colleagues intent, intend to have the voting rights act repealed and not reauthorized? Every last one of your Republican colleagues to have signed off on that platform is to be and found and, is to be found and killed....be it by a bullet to the face or by the smashing of a brick in your skull.”
Nformangum was scheduled to appear in court Friday but he reportedly did not show up.
