The Gateway Pundit reported that Helena, Montana, city commissioner candidate Haley McKnight left a threatening voicemail on Sen. Tim Sheehy’s (R-MT) in July following his vote to pass the Once Big Beautiful Bill Act.
In the message, McKnight wished pancreatic cancer on the Senator, hoping he would “die in the street like a dog.”
Apparently, the unhinged rant did not help McKnight at the ballot box, and she garnered only 20% of the vote.
During the roughly minute-long expletive-filled rant, McKnight raged, “Hi, this is Haley McKnight. I’m a constituent in Helena, Montana.”
“I just wanted to let you know that you are the most insufferable kind of coward and thief. You just stripped away healthcare for 17 million Americans, and I hope you’re really proud of that. I hope that one day you get pancreatic cancer, and it spreads throughout your body so fast that they can’t even treat you for it.”
“I hope you die in the street like a dog,” she continued.
“One day, you’re going to live to regret this. I hope that your children never forgive you. I hope that you are infertile. I hope that you manage to never get a boner ever again. You are the worst piece of s— I have ever, ever, ever had the misfortune of looking at … God forbid that you ever meet me on the streets because I will make you regret it. F— you. I hope you die.”
National Review Online reporter Audrey Fahlberg asked McNight if she thought the vile voicemail “went too far.”
McKnight replied, “No, I don’t think so.” McKnight then expressed puzzlement that her voicemail from July was “newsworthy.”
But that blue wave wasn’t enough to carry local candidates like McKnight to victory. She garnered only 20% of the vote, falling in third among a field of four candidates. Those who beat McKnight to obtain the two city commissioner seats up for grabs were Melinda Reed and Ben Rigby. Reed obtained 36.5% of the vote, while Rigby garnered 31.2%. The candidate who came in fourth garnered 11.5% and write-ins got 0.52% of the vote.
Speaking to Fox News earlier in the week about her voicemail, McKnight answered “no comment” when pressed if she stood by her rhetoric. She did note that her intention was not to threaten, or hurt, the senator, but added that she believed her rage was justifiable.
“I wanted to drive home the struggles that people that I know are going through because of his policies. I think people were kind of shocked at my specificity, but these are things that are affecting people in my community,” McKnight told Fox News Digital, adding that Sheehy was spending too much time blocking the release of “the Epstein files” as opposed to understanding the struggles Montanans are going through.
