Feds: Man Threatened To Shoot Boston Globe Employees For Trump Editorials

"BOSTON – A California man was arrested on Thursday and charged with threatening to shoot Boston Globe employees, calling them the “enemy of the people” for leading a nationwide editorial campaign critical of President Donald Trump.

Robert Chain, 68, of Encino, Calif., is charged with one count of making threatening communications in interstate commerce. He was released on $50,000 bail after he was arraigned in a Los Angeles federal courtroom Thursday afternoon. He will be transferred to Boston soon.

“I would like to make one statement. America was saved when Donald J. Trump was elected president,” Chain told reporters on his way out of court."
