Trump Nominees Targeted in Attacks Ranging From ‘Bomb Threats to Swatting’
A bomb threat was sent to the home of Rep. Elise Stefanik, Trump’s UN ambassador nominee.
Karoline Leavitt, President-elect Donald Trump’s transition spokeswoman, announced some of his nominees fell victim to “violent, unAmerican threats.”
“Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them,” Leavitt wrote in her statement. “These attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting.’ In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted.”
Leavitt added: “President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action.”
The office of Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Trump’s nominee for UN ambassador, posted on X:
“This morning, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, her husband, and their three year old son were driving home to Saratoga County from Washington for Thanksgiving when they were informed of a bomb threat to their residence. New York State, County law enforcement, and U.S. Capitol Police responded immediately with the highest levels of professionalism. We are incredibly appreciative of the extraordinary dedication of law enforcement officers who keep our communities safe 24/7. We want to share our best wishes to the Upstate NY community for a happy and safe Thanksgiving. We are especially grateful to our law enforcement officers and military families who are on duty over the holiday season.”

A pipe bomb threat targeting me and my family at our home today was sent in with a pro-Palestinian themed message. My family and I were not home at the time and are safe. We are working with law enforcement to learn more as this situation develops. We are thankful for the swift…

The FBI is involved.
“The FBI is aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees, and we are working with our law enforcement partners,” the agency said in a press release. “We take all potential threats seriously and, as always, encourage members of the public to immediately report anything they consider suspicious to law enforcement.”
All of Trump’s nominees and appointees need protection. Two men tried to murder Trump since July.

Sounds like some Insurrectionists won’t accept the results of our free and fair elections.
I will remind them that no one is above the law.
When the vile, stupid, lawless and hypocritical Dhimmi-crats engage in brazen terrorism and insurrection, they characterize it as allegedly righteous “Resistance.”
Sounds more like terrorists than insurrectionists.
Where is the swatting?
Taking “politics a’int beanbag” to a whole new level.
Four years has brough a huge change…2021 saw folks locked away for trespassing.
2025 arrives with pipe bombs.
Has anyone calls the FBI and ask them why they are doing this?
When I read the words “The FBI are involved” my brain did not immediately parse that information as meaning that they were investigating.
I should have read this before my comment below.

Don’t worry, everyone. The straight-shootin lawmen of FBI are on it. They’re probably framing their patsy as we speak.

“The Motive May Never Be Known (TM)”

Kaiser’s Maxim remains undefeated: “The left will always, eventually, resort to violence, threats of violence, or glorification of violence to advance its agenda. Always.”
They can’t win honestly because their arguments don’t stand up to logic and without a global pandemic and the “summer of love” fawning over the drug addict’s death, the American public realized the madness of runaway inflation, government targeting of citizens for lawful behavior and the denial of basic biology. Now, the left is stuck with violence since they cannot win in the arena of ideas.
Exactly what I was thinking, have been thinking since DJT has been elected. The left will not be satisfied with the fact that their reign of terror is over. Be alert and aware. The left is not beyond just about anything to avoid losing their control.
So much for the “peaceful transfer”
“Mostly peaceful”
“The FBI is involved.”
Now… how are we to interpret that?
Both ways.
The FBI agents investigating it are hopefully not the corrupt ones.
How do you find those.
Reminds me of the old quip: “the corrupt politicians give the other five percent a bad name “.
Not surprised.
Known terrorists groups should be detained at this time – like Antifa.
I mean… did you think the election was just “it”? That things were settled? Accepted?
Did you think there would not be violence?
If so, why?
