Another Dem lawmaker hit with fake bomb threat after colleagues targeted by Thanksgiving messages with ‘MAGA’ signoff
NY Post ^ | 11/29/24 | Steven Nelson

Rhode Island Democratic Rep. Seth Magaziner revealed Friday that he was swatted with a fake bomb threat — after similar phony police reports targeted at least five members of Connecticut’s Democratic congressional delegation and at least 10 of President-elect Donald Trump’s high-profile nominees.

“I was recently notified of a bomb threat targeting me and my family at our home. We are safe and there was no evidence of a bomb on the property,” Magaziner tweeted.

“We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the Providence Police Department for their effective response.”

The threats targeting Connecticut Democrats were “all signed with ‘MAGA’,” the acronym of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” mantra, Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York added in a separate Friday statement.

Trump’s team, including incoming White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, attorney general-designee Pam Bondi and defense secretary-designee Pete Hegseth, were targeted on Wednesday.

Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), Trump’s nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, said that the threat targeting his family included “a pro-Palestinian themed message.”

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), who was among the Thanksgiving targets, said the harassment “appears to be part of a coordinated effort involving multiple members of Congress and public figures.”

The FBI is investigating the spate of bogus calls, which thus far have not resulted in injuries to their targets, which can happen during heavily armed police responses.

It sounds like lazy, corrupt employees suddenly moving their arms around, shuffling papers, and putting on a pathetic show of doing work for the new boss that bought the place who is intent on firing a lot of people.

See how that works, the FBI’s assessment that “domestic terrorists” are the No. 1 threat, has now been confirmed.

I bet the people doing this are either FIB, DIMs or affiliated lefty losers.

Sounds like we are building up to a real bomb. Everyone will be numb to it.

Something sure seems fishy about this.

Swatting is different from a bomb threat.

I long for the good old days, when if you were going to go after a politician, you did it with tar & feathers.

The people caught doing this should get attempted murder charges and life in prison if convicted.

To me, it sounds like a false flag RAT operation.

Putin condemns this sort of thing.

In a clip I saw of him recently, he said women and children are NEVER involved in spats between government officials or others. They deal with it man to man, like adults, and leave the family out of it.

ABSOLUTELY!

This is far too dangerous a practice to allow to go with a slap on the wrist. It can easily cost someone their life and the swatters KNOW that.
