‘Signed With MAGA’: Hakeem Jeffries Says Bomb Threats Targeted Dems Days After Trump Team Announced Similar Incidents
SHARE

Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Friday that bomb threats targeted Democratic lawmakers days after President-elect Donald Trump’s team announced similar threats of violence against Trump’s Cabinet nominees.

Three days after it was revealed that Trump’s nominees and their families endured bomb threats and “swatting” incidents, Jeffries claimed Thanksgiving Day threats of pipe bombs in mailboxes to “swatting” incidents against Democratic lawmakers, their familiars and law enforcement were “signed with ‘MAGA,’” according to a statement from his office.

“Yesterday, during Thanksgiving celebrations, several Democratic Members of Congress, their families and law enforcement officials were targeted with violent threats. These incidents ranged from detailed threats of a pipe bomb placed in mailboxes to swatting, all signed with ‘MAGA’ at the conclusion of the message,” the statement read.

Jeffries’ office confirmed to Politico that nearly all House and Senate Democrats from Connecticut, including Sen. Chris Murphy and Reps. Jim Hines, Joe Courtney, John Larson, Jahana Hayes and Rosa DeLauro, were targeted by Thursday’s threats. The House minority leader said all recipients were unharmed and that no devices were located.

“America is a democracy. Threats of violence against elected officials are unacceptable, unconscionable and have no place in a civilized society. All perpetrators of political violence directed at any party must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” his statement said.

Jeffries thanked law enforcement and assured that the Sergeant at Arms was working to safeguard members of Congress from menacing threats.

“House Democrats will not be deterred or intimidated from serving the people by violent threats. We have been in close communication with the Sergeant at Arms office and it is imperative that Congress provide maximum protection for all Members and their families moving forward,” the statement said.

DeLauro spoke out against the bomb threat she received Thursday on social media and thanked law enforcement, who found no bomb at her home.

Today, I received a bomb threat similar to my colleagues in the Connecticut congressional delegation. The New Haven Police Department’s bomb squad has responded & determined no bomb was present at our home. I am thankful for their swift response & relieved no one was harmed.

“Today, I received a bomb threat similar to my colleagues in the Connecticut congressional delegation. The New Haven Police Department’s bomb squad has responded & determined no bomb was present at our home. I am thankful for their swift response & relieved no one was harmed,” the congresswoman wrote on X.

Tuesday evening, incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that several of Trump’s cabinet picks and their families were safe after they were targeted by threats of violence, including bomb threats and “swatting” incidents.

“President Trump and the Transition are focused on doing the work of uniting our nation by ensuring a safe and prosperous future. With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us,” she wrote.

Leavitt did not name the recipients of the threats against Trump’s Cabinet nominees, but some, including Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator nominee Lee Zeldin and U.N. Ambassador nominee Elise Stefanik, revealed themselves on social media Wednesday.

Matt Gaetz, Trump’s former pick for attorney general, also faced bomb threats, according to Punchbowl.

In a statement, the FBI says it “is aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees, and we are working with our law enforcement partners. We take all potential threats seriously, and as always, encourage members of…
