Black Congressman Says He Gets 'Avalanche of Mean-Spirited' Calls After Personal Numbers Leaked
By MORGAN WINSOR - Aug 20, 2016, 3:09 PM ET
An African American congressman who represents Kansas City, Missouri, said he has received an “avalanche of mean-spirited phone calls” -- including from "N-word sickos" -- since hackers allegedly leaked the cell phone numbers and other personal information of nearly all Democrats in the House of Representatives last week.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver said in a statement to ABC News that his cell phone number and other personal information were released in the alleged leak on Aug. 12.
“I received a number of calls from N-word sickos,” Cleaver said in the statement to ABC News today.
Cleaver has changed his phone number and has ramped up security at his personal residence because his home address was also made public, according to his spokesperson.
