Former KREM reporter, Democratic strategist says she warned Twitter about Florida bomb suspect

A former KREM reporter-turned-Democratic strategist says she warned Twitter two weeks ago about Cesar Sayoc, the Florida man now accused of mailing pipe bombs to more than a dozen prominent Democrats and other public figures.

Rochelle Ritchie worked for the Spokane news station from 2007 to 2009 and now makes regular appearances on Fox News as a Democratic strategist. She’s also worked at TV stations in Oklahoma and West Palm Beach, Florida, and served as a spokeswoman for the Baltimore state attorney’s office.

In a Twitter post on Friday, Ritchie said the social media company had rebuffed her when she reported that Sayoc – using the handle @hardrock2016 – threatened her on Oct. 11.

Ritchie shared an image of Sayoc’s threatening tweet, which read: “So you like make threats.We Unconquered Seminole Tribe will answer your threats.We have nice silent Air boat ride for u here on our land Everglades Swamp .We will see you 4 sure.Hug your loved ones real close every time you leave home.”
