A Chicago man is charged with sending a graphic voicemail to Darren Bailey threatening to torture and kill the Republican gubernatorial candidate and his family.
State Sen. Darren Baily, the GOP nominee for governor, speaks at the Illinois State Fair on Aug. 18, 2022.
“It was a specific threat intended to cause alarm and fear, not only to the official, but to those around him,” Cook County Judge Susana Ortiz said during the hearing. Lennox went on to state that if Bailey didn’t “kill himself, I will,” before stating he knows where Bailey and his family live and the “f--king school he works at,” according to Scaduto. He allegedly continued to make numerous more threats during the lengthy voicemail.
Bailey listened to the message himself, and agreed with the additional security measures for himself and his family, according to Scaduto. “Dude, I’m a political terrorist,” he allegedly wrote in one message to a friend. “I sent a super ‘threatening’ … message and now the cops are coming over to ‘ask me some questions.’”
Lennox again admitted leaving the voicemail, telling investigators he only did so for “shock value to his friends,” according to Scaduto.
