After Democratic lawmakers were targeted by death threats and vandalism, House Democrats met with members of the Capitol Police today to discuss security concerns.
Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Majority Whip James Clyburn held a press conference this afternoon on Capitol Hill, saying members had raised concerns and that Capitol Police told them to address any suspicious activity around the Capitol.
"Any member who feels themselves at risk is getting attention from the proper authorities," Hoyer said. At least 10 Democratic lawmakers have complained of threats or other security concerns.

It began a long time ago. We’re just playing catch up...
The libs have no idea the dog they’ve just unleashed.
Let them do their hate jig. It is all they know how to do.
what a bunch of babies.
Oh brother. Get some back bone boys, nothing has happened to you. Sticks and stones, good gravy.
These are big boys arent they? In Texas, these men would be called wussies. (changed letter a bit)
This all plays into their hands(they are loving this stuff), we are so screwed.
Where were they when liberals were targeting Bart Stupak?
Is tar and feather vandalism?
They’re so afraid, they hold a press conference? I think they are making it up.
Personally, I don’t want to see violence and vandalism happen for one particular reason. As you all know, there had been talk to revive the fairness doctrine and to put conservative radio, tv and even websites out of business. The the notion had died down recently, but threats and vandalism will only serve to bring this back up again. Their argument will be that sites like FR and other conservative sources encourage and incite this chit. We know that’s not true, but we don’t want to give an excuse to those who would take away our freedom of speech to implement their nefarious plans.
All this is third-hand reporting, which is not going to grow legs. The next thing they'll try is to hire actors!
Let them tell their lies.
propagandist, the left is great at manipulating the media and the masses in their favor with manipulation, staged events, and staged incidents. I’m sure they have full time advisors
dreaming this stuff up and executing it.
It is propaganda.
Real threats are dealt with quietly and without fanfare. If one is in real fear for their situation, one doesn’t broadcast one’s precautions.
Well orchestrated lies, I was waiting for this.
they have so pushed the envelope to outrage so many people, I don’t doubt there are a few IRS Plane Guys out there willing to do something stupid
The DNC Brownshirts have spoken.
The media did a total news blackout on the Democrat plots to firebomb the 2008 GOP convention, to kidnap GOP delegated, etc.
There were prosecutions and CONVICTIONS in these genuine crimes with NO media coverage.
I call Bullstalin on the DNC’s latest talking point.
