More letters containing a white powdery substance have surfaced in a third state capital city.
Helena, Montana was the target this time.
Once again, the unknown sender(s) only targeted Republican lawmakers. (RELATED: FBI Investigating After ‘Suspicious' Packages Sent To Prominent Republicans)
At least two members of the legislature in Helena received suspicious deliveries, following similar incidents at the Tennessee and Kansas state capitols. Montana House leadership confirmed House Speaker Rhonda Knudsen, R-Culbertson, and Rep. Neil Duram, R-Eureka, received letters at their homes, both with post markings from Kansas City.
As NBC Montana reports:
Upon opening the letter, the representatives found “vague and threatening letters” along with another small envelope filled with a white powder.
Knudsen released a statement expressing her determination and commending local law enforcement:
“Anonymous actions like this are not expressions of free speech but rather are cowardly attempts to coerce and harm elected officials. I will not be intimidated by these kinds of tactics. I also want to acknowledge the very quick response by the Roosevelt County Sheriff's Department. Sheriff Jason Frederick sent a deputy to my residence and the deputy secured the letter and immediately removed it from my home.”
None of the targeted politicians have reported any possible side effects connected to exposure from hazardous substances.
Both representatives have reported that they feel fine and have not experienced any symptoms of a biological or chemical attack. Both letters are now in the possession of local law enforcement. The state attorney general and local law enforcement are investigating and working to test the powder to determine its composition. Attorney General Austin Knudsen is Rhonda Knudsen's son.
Legislative leadership and legislative staff worked Friday night to notify all Montana legislators of the letters and warn them not to open any suspicious mail and to immediately report any suspect mail to law enforcement.

Just some more action by the radical loonie left. Is anyone really surprised at this? One of these days it’s going to be the real stuff and it will wipe out a whole bunch of our elected officials, then what will happen?
The world elites paying Americans to kill Americans. Joe Biden doesn’t say a word about it. China in the Florida waters , where’s American military defending the Florida coastline?. The military too busy destroying it self will gay and diversity. People in Florida better arm themselves. The military and Biden will not protect you!
Has anyone noticed whenever attacks from the left happen they are always of a very violent nature, i.e. the shooting at the congressional baseball game, all of these letters with the powder, the assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan the threats of Supreme court justice just to name a few. These are Communist thinking people and it has to be shut down, vote these demons out of office.
