Politics / Peter King Rep. Peter King Sent Bloody Pig's Foot ...and rambling note By Kate Seamons, Newser Staff Posted Apr 4, 2011 5:10 PM CDT Copied US Republican Representative Peter King of New York, Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, uses his gavel to begin the first in a series of hearings on radicalization. (Getty Images) It's the modern-day version of the horse head in the bed: Rep. Peter King, he of the infamous Muslim radicalization hearings, was sent a bloody pig's foot, reports Luke Russert for MSNBC. It was accompanied by a note full of anti-Semitic language and a reference to King's controversial hearings. The foot never actually made it to King's office; it was intercepted when it was scanned for explosives. (More Peter King stories.) Report an error
