Carl Nett, who used to work in the Secret Service, was replying to a tweet from Yarmuth boasting about his “F” rating from the National Rifle Association (NRA).

“FBI Louisville is aware of the tweet and is working with our law enforcement partners to determine the best course of action,” spokesman David Habich told The Courier-Journal.

A spokesman from Yarmuth’s office told the publication that the Capitol Police were also aware of the situation. 

Yarmuth’s tweet on Monday was in reference to the nationwide anti-gun violence March for Our Lives protest set for Saturday in cities across the country.
