Pelosi bombarded with ‘obscene and sick’ calls, texts after cyber attack

Posted on August 15, 2016 by Dissent

Erin Kelly reports:

 House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Saturday that she has been bombarded with “obscene and sick calls, voice mails and text messages” after her personal contact information was posted online Friday night in the wake of the cyber attack against top Democratic campaign committees.

Pelosi, D-Calif., warned her Democratic colleagues in Congress to quickly change their numbers and told them not to let their children or family members answer their phones or read the potentially shocking text messages. The personal information of Democratic House members and their staff was posted online after hackers stole electronic data from the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
