The threat however is starting to become a sinister trend all across the United States.
Previously The Gateway Pundit reported Arizona Republican gubernatorial Kari Lake’s headquarters was shut down after “white suspicious powder” contained in a letter was sent to her campaign headquarters.
In both NYC and Arizona no suspect has been named or arrested which has raised concern amongst voters.
