The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is receiving extra security after an activist in Missouri, Scott Boston, said, “We have to kill the Claire Bear.” But in defending Boston, CNN contributor Dana Loesch failed to mention that she co-founded a conservative activist group with him.

From the Post-Dispatch:

At an event Thursday in Springfield, Mo., Scott Boston, a St. Louis area activist who has been involved with the Tea Party, told the crowd “we have to get Claire McCaskill out.”

“We have to kill the Claire Bear ladies and gentlemen,” Boston said. “She walks around like she's some sort of Rainbow Brite Care Bear or something but really she's an evil monster.”

The comment was seen as ominous enough to prompt the U.S. Capitol Police to seek extra protection for the Missouri Democrat.

Police in Kirkwood, where McCaskill lives, confirm they were asked by the Capitol security agency to perform stepped up patrols around her house.

McCaskill has also had extra security tailing her at public appearances.

In writing about the incident at Big Government, Loesch reported that the FBI questioned Boston about his remarks at his home in St. Louis.

In December, Loesch and Boston helped to found the Gateway Grassroots Initiative, which is dedicated to “advancing conservatism at the national, state, and local levels.” Boston has also co-authored a post promoting the Gateway Grassroots Initiative at Breitbart.com.

Loesch made no mention of her connection to Boston in her Big Government post.
