Broward County Schools Lockdown Connected To Joyce Kaufman?
Joyce Kaufman Won't Work For Congressman Elect Allen West After Connection Surfaces To Radio Talk Show Host Joyce Kaufman
In a odd twist, Conservative WFTL radio talk show host Joyce Kaufman says she has decided not to work as chief of staff for Congressman elect Allen West on Thursday - the reason an apparent connection between the Wednesday lockdown of Broward County schools and an email and phone call threatening mass shootings.
The Pembroke Pines Police, received an e-mail addressed to Kaufman late Tuesday, threatening a mass shooting at government buildings in Broward Country. A subsequent phone call to WTFL triggered the Broward County schools lockdown.
While police will not say whether the call and e-mail were threatening toward Kaufman or in defense of her, there is some suggestion the e-mailer may have been upset that Kaufman has come under media scrutiny lately for alleged inflammatory comments she has made on her radio show....
Kaufman said she didn't want to tarnish West's reputation.``I will not be used in an electronic lynching by proxy,''
Joyce Kaufman is an out spoken conservative radio talk show host who has come under fire for her comments regarding "iillegal immigrants"and for statements like "...if ballots don't work, bullets will."
Allen West the newly elected Congressman from Florida says Joyce Kaufman is a "good friend" and he regrets Joyce Kaufmans's decision
