Trump Cabinet Nominees Threatened Before Thanksgiving
Former President Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees faced violent threats as Thanksgiving approached, according to a release from Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt. The threats included bomb scares and “swatting,” a tactic where false emergency reports are made to provoke a police response. These incidents prompted swift action from law enforcement to ensure the safety of those targeted. Leavitt expressed gratitude for the authorities’ response, asserting that such intimidation would not deter Trump’s team. Notably, this violence seems to be part of a larger pattern, as Trump himself has previously survived at least two assassination attempts, indicating an escalating climate of hostility toward him and his associates.
Former President Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees faced a series of threats overnight and on Wednesday 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,” Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt wrote in a press release on Wednesday morning.
The threats, which came the night before Thanksgiving eve, “ranged from bomb threats to “swatting,’” in which a suspect falsely reports an emergency to trigger a police response against his target, according to the release. Police and “other authorities” quickly acted for the “safety of those who were targeted.”
“President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action,” Leavitt wrote. “With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us.”
Trump has so far faced at least two attempted assassination attempts. In the first, a would-be assassin shot Trump in the head at a Pennsylvania rally, and in the second, a shooter waited in the bushes on a Florida golf course to ambush him, as The Federalist previously reported. Apparently this violence is now being directed toward Trump’s associates.
Leftists have consistently incited violence against Trump by calling him a “Nazi,” peddling the recent Madison Square Garden media hoax and refusing to abandon their incendiary rhetoric in the days after the first assassination attempt.
