The House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries claims several Connecticut Democrats have received bomb threats on Thanksgiving, allegedly they were signed “MAGA.”
“Threats of violence against elected officials are unacceptable, unconscionable and have no place in a civilized society,” Jeffries’ office stated.
“All perpetrators of political violence directed at any party must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” they continued.
“In a statement, Jeffries said the messages received by the elected officials on Thanksgiving ranged from detailed threats of a pipe bomb placed in mailboxes to swatting, but all had one thing in common—the MAGA signature.”
According to Politico: “Each of the threats was “signed with ‘MAGA’ at the conclusion of the message,” the minority leader’s office said in a statement on Friday.”
“Nearly all of the House and Senate Democrats from Connecticut were the targets of bomb threats at their homes on Thursday, including Sen. Chris Murphy and Reps. Jim Himes, Joe Courtney, John Larson, Jahana Hayes and Rosa DeLauro. Police did not find evidence of devices at the lawmakers’ residences, Jeffries’ office confirmed,” Politico also reported.
