She later followed up with a subsequent tweet, โBrett kavanaugh [sic] will be dealing with death threats for the rest of his life being on the Supreme Court. I doubt my mid-west ass is a real threatโ
She had another account @lookitsSammm but deleted all her accounts from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Prior to deleting her account, Nessโs Twitter bio read, โI donโt even know what Iโm upset about.โ
Her most recent tweet was posted late Monday morning. She wrote, โBeing called a fat ugly c*nt by a random guy on Twitter is probably the highlight of my entire life.โ
According to KARE11, the FBI has since confirmed awareness of the post by Ness, and that the bureau is โlooking intoโ the threat. Whatโs more, Zuzek confirmed to KARE11 that the district received many calls and complaints by parents over the last few days about Nessโs tweet.
