Kshama Sawant, an Indian-American Seattle city councilwoman, has reportedly been receiving threats for encouraging protesters to shut down President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20.

Raw Story reported that on election day in America, November 8, Sawant urged the public in a video to “tell America we do not accept a racist agenda and let’s make sure of that on Inauguration Day”.

Raw Story published some of the emails Sawant received. “Go back to India b****,” read one email. “I am tired of being shamed because I’m a white male. You automatically think I’m a racist. How about you go the f*** back to India or wherever you came from?”

Council spokesperson Dana Robinson Slote added that one of Sawant's staffers was also threatened over the phone, and told: "I will come and tattoo a swastika on your head and on that b****’s head."
