GOP rep shares threatening voicemail after infrastructure vote
Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) revealed on Monday that he received a threatening voicemail just days after voting for the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
During an appearance on CNN's "AC360," Upton told Anderson Cooper that a person called him and left a message saying "I hope you die," according to CNN.
"I hope everybody in your f---ing family dies," the caller reportedly added, saying the Republican lawmaker was a "f---ing piece of s--- traitor."
After the vote, Upon said in a tweet that he was disappointed that the bill had become "a political football." "Our country can’t afford this partisan dysfunction any longer," he wrote
On Monday, Upton reiterated that point to Cooper, saying that the voicemail he received further indicated how "we have seen civility really downslide here," according to CNN. "These are very disturbing, adult language," he added. "To say the least, that truly is frightening." The Michigan lawmaker's office told the news network that the threatening voicemail was not an isolated incident.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in a tweet after the vote called the Republicans who supported the legislation "traitors."
"Those 13 Republican traitors who voted to pass Biden’s Socialist Infrastructure bill agree with Globalist Joe that America must depend on China to drive EV’s," she wrote. "The unlucky 13 are China-First and America-Last," she added. "13 American job & energy killers."
Upton was also among Republicans who voted in favor of impeaching former President Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection. At the time, he criticized GOP lawmakers who sought to downplay the events that occurred that day.
"It's absolutely bogus. You know, I was there. I watched a number of the folks walk down to the White House and then back. I have a balcony on my office. So I saw them go down. I heard the noise -- the flash-bangs, I smelled some of the gas as it moved my way," he said at the time, according to CNN.

GOP centrists come under increased attacks from own party
The 13 House Republicans who voted for the bipartisan infrastructure bill are being taunted as traitors and threatened with primary challenges from far-right lawmakers for breaking party lines to help give President Biden a long-sought legislative victory.
The attacks come from fellow House Republicans, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Madison Cawthorn (N.C.), who denounced them as “traitors” who “voted to help Biden screw America.” Both vowed to back primary challengers.
Greene tweeted out the office phone numbers of the 13 Republicans, whom she blasted for having “handed over their voting cards to Nancy Pelosi to pass Joe Biden’s Communist takeover of America via so-called infrastructure.”
That led to a flood of angry and at times threatening phone calls for the office of Rep. Fred Upton (Mich.), one of the 13 Republicans who voted for the infrastructure bill.
A spokesman for Upton confirmed to The Hill that his office had received more than 1,000 calls since Greene tweeted out the phone number, with more than 90 percent estimated to be from people outside of the district.
Cawthorn pledged he would “primary the hell out of” any Republican who backed the infrastructure bill. And Greene not only called for defeating them in primaries, but also taking away their committee assignments.
Greene — who was booted from House committees earlier this year for embracing conspiracy theories and appearing to endorse violence against Democrats — went further in calling for similar treatment for Republicans who voted for the bill.
“ ‘Majority Makers’ just became Socialism Makers. There is only one cure. Remove them from committees. Stop helping them financially. They don’t deserve it and solidly proved it by delivering Biden’s agenda. Primary them & build a better party that serves America,” Greene tweeted.
Greene and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) have particularly targeted their ire toward Rep. John Katko (N.Y.), the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee.
Katko, who represents a district that Biden won by nine points in 2020, called the bill “a once in a generation investment in our nation’s physical infrastructure” and “a win for Central New York.”
But Greene and Gaetz highlighted Katko’s additional votes this year joining with Democrats in support of impeaching Trump after Jan. 6, taking away Greene’s committee assignments, creating a bipartisan commission to investigate Jan. 6 and holding former Trump strategist Stephen Bannon in contempt of Congress as evidence of what they see as insufficient party loyalty.
“I think right away John Katko should be removed as the Republican lead on the Homeland Security Committee, and everyone else who voted for these bills,” Gaetz said Monday in an interview with Newsmax.
But so far, House GOP leaders have opted against booting members from committees for breaking the party line in other ways this year. GOP Reps. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) have not been stripped of their committee assignments after they accepted an invitation from Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to serve on the select panel investigating Jan. 6, for instance.
