San Francisco’s CBS affiliate reports:
California Rep. Eric Swalwell has reported former San Francisco 49ers fullback Bruce Miller to the Capitol Police after he says Miller threatened him on social media. On Wednesday, the Democratic congressman from Dublin shared a screenshot of a direct message he says he received from Miller.
The post said, “Almost time!!! Would you rather Guantanamo or just execution” followed by laugh emojis. The post also called Swalwell a “f—-n’ traitor.”
Miller played for the 49ers from 2011 to just before the 2016 season when he was dropped from the team after he was charged with the alleged assault of a 70-year-old man. In June 2015, Miller pleaded no contest to a charge of disturbing the peace in connection with an incident in March of that year involving his ex-fiancée.

I am not a threat to you or anyone else for that matter. However, you and the uniparty are a threat to the country and to the world. While your busy deflecting to bs and running around screwing Chinese spies while sitting on an intelligence committee, the Bay Area is in decay

Under the leadership of you and the other corrupt leadership. But you’d rather spend the last 7 years committing the biggest fraud in US history, instead of helping people. One that all of you knew from conception was a fraud, and it’s very clear. I never threatened you,

I asked a simple question which struck a nerve, which I can imagine would since that punishment is in the cards for you and many others! Im not maga, republican or democrat. I’m an American who is sick of watching the corrupt establishment destroy our country. ??
