A Montana Democrat lost her election and job after her voicemail of violent threats to Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) was revealed.

Haley McKnight, a former store manager of the retail gift shop Sage and Oats Trading Post in Helena, Montana, was running as a Democratic candidate for the Helena City Commission. On Monday, just one day before the election, a July 2 voicemail she left for Sheehy, in which she identified herself by her first and last name, was revealed. Despite already having declared her candidacy, McKnight voiced disturbing and violent threats against Sheehy. The audio of her voicemail quickly spread on social media.
