NEWTON, MA — The police department is investigating political flyers that include threatening messages that were found in two different locations, according to a report from The Newton Beacon.

Multiple flyers were reported on Thursday, March 19 and Friday, March 20 respectively. The first group was discovered on the corner of Waban Avenue and Beacon Street, while a second was found on Fessenden Street in Nonantum Village.

The contents of the flyers were headlined with violent political statements such as “Save America kill the Liberals” and “Love America Kill the Liberals.” One flyer that included expletives alluded to how President Joe Biden did not release classified documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, while claiming “Liberals” take issue with President Donald Trump and his administration has released some.
