CoinVoice has recently learned, according to Caixin, that House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries stated that party lawmakers faced "violent threats" during Thanksgiving, including bomb warnings and attempts to mislead law enforcement into sending SWAT teams to the disadvantage of homeowners. Previously, nominees for President Donald Trump's cabinet also encountered similar incidents.
The incident targeting Democratic lawmakers included, "detailed threats regarding placing pipe bombs in mailboxes and attempts to lure SWAT teams into responding, all information ending with 'MAGA,'" Jeffries said in a statement on Friday. The 'MAGA' he referred to is Trump's political slogan 'Make America Great Again.' Jeffries stated that due to the rapid response from law enforcement, no devices were found, and members of Congress and their families were safe during the holiday season.
Some Democratic lawmakers from Connecticut said they were targeted in the Thanksgiving incident, including Representatives Jim Himes, Rosa DeLauro, and Jahana Hayes. They posted the threats they received on the X social media platform. [Original link]
