Anthony Lantrell Bennett was arrested in Buffalo after threatening to kill Georgia Rep. Mike Collins and his son-in-law over an "inaccurate" online article, according to the FBI and Butts County Sheriff’s Office. The incident occurred last week when Bennett allegedly sent a terroristic threat through unspecified means. While details about the specific article that angered Bennett are unclear, CNN reported in July that Collins’ son-in-law had previously shared antisemitic and white nationalist content. Rep. Collins expressed gratitude towards law enforcement for their quick response to protect his family from further threats.

The model judged this article politically coded and scored it -0.35, but all 2 of its quote(s) are attributed speech - words the article quotes from someone, not the article's own narration, so the score is not published.
Written under an earlier scoring contract, which gave a paragraph
