Philly Man Accused of Death Threat Against Va. Congressman

Suspect posted threat on YouTube

A Philadelphia man is under arrest and charged with threatening to kill a top House Republican.

Norman Leboon posted a video on YouTube, in which he threatened to kill Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and his family, authorities said.

The video contains profanity and anti-Semitic rants.

Cantor is Jewish.

No harm came to the congressman or his family.

Last week, Cantor accused Democrats of using death threats as a political ploy, saying he and other Republicans have also received threats because of their positions on health care reform.
