The Washington Post reports:
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) said bomb threats and swatting incidents were made against Democratic lawmakers, their families and law enforcement personnel. The threats, Jeffries said Friday, were “all signed with ‘MAGA’ at the conclusion of the message.”
Threats of violence aimed at lawmakers are “unacceptable, unconscionable and have no place in a civilized society,” Jeffries said. “All perpetrators of political violence directed at any party must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island) also received a bomb threat similar to those “made against other Democrats on Thanksgiving,” his office confirmed on Friday.
