Several of Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees and administration appointees "were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them" on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, the president-elect's transition team said Wednesday.

"These attacks ranged from bomb threats to 'swatting,'" Trump transition spokesperson and incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. "In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted."

House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, Trump's incoming ambassador to the United Nations, was "informed of a bomb threat" to her New York home, according to a statement from her office on Wednesday.

Scott Turner, who Trump tapped to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development, said in a statement on X that his "home was targeted by a bomb threat" on Wednesday and Trump's pick for Labor secretary, Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.), said on X that she received a "pipe bomb threat" on Tuesday night. Lee Zeldin, the president-elect's pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, also said in a statement that he was the target of a "pipe bomb" threat with a "pro-Palestinian themed message."

Brooke Rollins, Trump's pick for Agriculture secretary, said in a post on X that she also learned of a threat "issued against our home and family" on Wednesday morning.

A relative of former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Trump's initial pick for attorney general, also received a bomb threat, the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post. The office said it received notice of a "bomb threat referencing former Congressman Matt Gaetz's supposed mailbox" on Wednesday morning.

The FBI said in a statement on Wednesday that it "is aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees" and is working with "law enforcement partners."

Yes. And then no. This is where Michelle was right, take the high road. Crooks, of all collar colors, should be punished. Bad behavior should never be tolerated.

Don't those aholes know they just need to argue their positions on a message board to really make a difference? Amateur schmucks

Spray Painting “Blacks Rule” on a driveway seems like something a white person would do/say….

They need to make swatting a federal crime with mandatory 20 year or more sentence.

Obviously they’ve never spent time in a drunk tank with @Chishawk1425

There’s just no way the “side” responsible for this would ever cheat in an election…..

 

[JMNSHO]

Stupid and wrong. Our culture has become too dumb to even conceive effective forms of nonviolent civil disobedience.

Probably a 60% chance these threats are coming from the right.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk - an official member of the incoming administration - is posting names on X of federal govt employees he thinks are useless and whose jobs should be eliminated subjecting them to...death threats and harassment. A number are considering resigning or have resigned in response...which was likely the point of his little exercise.

Assassination attempts were from the right. Trump supporters have a long history of making threats to get what they want.

Limpies are resigning while MAGA locks and loads in response to threats!

Death threats work. It's why Rs keep going back to this well.

I’m so sick of this shit.

You’re right. In the spirit of Joe Biden: If you spray paint “Blacks Rule,” then you ain’t black!

Probably a 60% chance these threats are coming from the right.

I love science and statistical analysis. Well done.

There is a 69% chance I will still be impressed tomorrow.

Yep, staged

Happy Thanksgiving, Huey.

C’mon, dude.

 

[franklinman]

Why is this a surprise when CRAZY Filthy Don was targeted 3 times. Damn, only missed by a couple of inches on one occasion.

Happy Thanksgiving, Huey.

C’mon, dude.

Come on what? Threats like this are from the Republican playbook. They can't make endless death threats, try to kill Trump, then act like they have much credibility here. Arrest and charge whomever made these threats and have the Rs stop making threats themselves. This isn't hard.

People who commit crimes should be punished.

Remind the Republicans attending a softball game or the Jews on college campuses who have been viciously attacked.

But, okay.
