Swalwell: Ex-NFL Player Threatened To “Execute” Me

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.
