Rep. Receives Death Threats, Cancels Event After Calling Trans Rep. Sarah McBride ‘Mister’
Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) said he has received death threats after accurately calling Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) — a male pretending to be a female — “mister” during a House hearing Tuesday.
The Republican congressman announced Friday that due to death threats and threats of violence against his office, he has decided to cancel a meet-up event for constituents Saturday.
“In life as in war, there are times to engage and times to disengage. In recent days, the rhetoric from the left has turned vile and hateful. My office received multiple death threats and threats of violence — several of which are currently being investigated by authorities,” Self said in a post to X.
“Rather than place constituents, their families, and their property in harm’s way, I’ve decided to err on the side of caution and postpone Saturday’s Koffee with Keith in Greenville, Texas. I look forward to re-engaging with constituents again very soon. God bless, Keith Self,” he continued.

During a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe Subcommittee hearing Tuesday, Self recognized McBride, who was elected as the first transgender-identifying member of congress in November 2024, as “Mr. McBride.” After doing so, Democrat Rep. Bill Keating (D-MA) had a meltdown over Self’s supposed “misgendering” of McBride.
🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Sarah McBride – a transgender – was just introduced as "Mr. McBride" and ALL H*LL BROKE LOOSE because he was "misgendered."
The Democratic member literally started POUNDING HIS FIST and YELLING, and the hearing was then ADJOURNED.
