Liberal activist Simon Radecki threatened Sen. Pat Toomey’s (R-PA) daughter with kidnapping at a town hall in the Lehigh Valley last Thursday night.
Audio in the above video had been redacted during the live broadcast, but reporters caught the entire exchange:
After thanking Mr. Toomey for appearing, Mr. Radecki said, “We’ve been here for a while. You probably haven’t seen the news. Can you confirm whether or not your daughter Bridget has been kidnapped?”
The ensuing four-second pause was punctuated by Mr. Toomey uttering “uhhhh,” before Mr. Radecki added, “The reason I ask is because that’s the reality of families that suffer deportation …”
The question led to Radecki’s arrest on charges of “disorderly conduct and disrupting a public meeting,” according to a report from The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The eerie exchange sent chills through those in attendance at the town hall event:
“If you were in the room, it was one of the scariest things that I have ever been a part of,” said PBS39 CEO Tim Fallon. Even after Mr. Radecki attempted to explain his query, Mr. Fallon said, “All I was processing was ‘Oh, my God, what has happened?’ … It was perceived as a threat by myself [and] folks I have had interactions with.”
According to his Linkedin page, Radecki is originally from Minnesota and has worked as an organizer on Sen. Al Franken’s (D-MN) 2014 Senate campaign, in addition to various other liberal causes.
His Twitter page is filled with tirades against gun rights and the “white supremacists” who founded the United States:
The 2nd amendment specifically, as well of the bill of rights generally, were written from the perspective of white supremacists.

This is not the first time that Toomey has received threats. Prior to the 2016 Senate election in Pennsylvania, vandals spray-painted hateful, anti-GOP messages on the senator’s neighbors’ homes, according to The Morning Call:
“Look out Toomey and your Neo Nazi Republicans,” one portion of the graffiti read, and on another wall: “#Americans against the Republican Party.”
