Rep. Max Miller Publishes Voicemail Death Threat After Michigan Synagogue Attack

The post underscores mounting security concerns for Jewish officials following a targeted synagogue attack in Michigan.

Overview

  • Miller, one of four Jewish Republican members of Congress, shared an 11-second voicemail using explicit antisemitic slurs and said such threats are routine.
  • He said he reported the caller to the U.S. Capitol Police, and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer publicly condemned the threat and expressed support.
  • The voicemail arrived minutes after a vehicle packed with explosives was rammed into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, where the attacker was shot and killed by security.
  • The FBI described the Michigan assault as a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community, and investigators have not confirmed any connection to the voicemail.
  • Miller has previously reported harassment, including a 2025 roadside incident in Ohio for which a suspect was arrested on charges such as aggravated menacing.
