Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) said she received death threats after voting against Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) for House speaker.
Miller-Meeks voted in favor of Jordan for speaker initially, but she retracted it in the subsequent vote. She said one of the reasons why she retracted her vote was a concern over "threatening tactics" from his supporters. The Iowa Republican said her concerns were confirmed when she received death threats after voting against him.
"I voted for Chairwoman Granger because she has demonstrated great leadership this year by bringing forth, and passing, fiscally responsible, single-subject appropriations bills and is a staunch conservative. However, since my vote in support of Chairwoman Granger, I have received credible death threats and a barrage of threatening calls. The proper authorities have been notified, and my office is cooperating fully," she said. "One thing I cannot stomach or support is a bully."
"Someone who threatens another with bodily harm or tries to suppress differing opinions undermines opportunity for unity and regard for freedom of speech," Miller-Meeks added. "That’s why I spoke out forcefully against censorship and suppression during the COVID-19 pandemic. I did not stand for bullies before I voted for Chairwoman Granger and when I voted for Speaker-designee Jordan, and I will not bend to bullies now."
On Wednesday, 22 Republicans voted against Jordan on the floor, and Miller-Meeks is one of several who have cited alleged "intimidation and threats" from Jordan's supporters and have stiffened their opposition in response.

Never vote for a woman. Period.
Some of the male RINO Reps are making this same claim.
Everything these RINOs have done, so far, has been so obviously scripted.
From their nearly identical tweets, to this latest Bea Ess claim....they’re nothing but leftists, in a RINO disguise.
THAT is CORRECT. These retarded cowardly republic-nts are constantly being played/tricked by the left.
And what better evidence than the woman's name! Mariannette! God has a sense of humor. (and he's trying to wake up the susceptible)
She needs to prove it. Death threats could come from anyone. MAGA people are peaceful.
Do you trust the word of a woman with a hyphenated last name who is not from a family of British aristocrats?
Steve Bannon says lobbyists are going to each of the Republicans holdouts
Who is it that these 22 dumb asses want as speaker? It can’t be McCarthy, he’s out. So what do they want to do? Just sit on their thumbs and pout and complain?
So she wants to vote for Kay Grainger, former mayor of Fort Worthless, Texas and a new octogenarian. Perfect.
Add her name to the list...
According to Wikipedia: it is one of the least Republican districts in Iowa
(R+3)
Well, 1st the “very conservatives” wouldn’t accept Scalise. Now some moderates (at least some in tossup districts or worse) won’t accept Jordan.
"Miller-Meeks"
A hyphenated named woman, to boot.
"Republican politician from the U.S. state of Texas serving as the U.S. representative for Texas's 12th congressional district since 1997."
Miller-Meeks voted in favor of Jordan for speaker initially, but she retracted it in the subsequent vote. She said one of the reasons why she retracted her vote was a concern over “threatening tactics” from his supporters“
Even if true, this shows that her female thinking is too emotional for this job. Was it a good decision or was it not? But SHE claims she changed her vote to teach people a lesson, or out of anger, or petty revenge.
Typical female “thinking”.
Vote them out and then when they are in the “private sector” punish them some more. Hound them to the ends of the earth. No peace, no surrender. /spit
I never believe these reports, but I do believe THESE reports.
The quislings need to know how angry Americans are at their petty games. Violence NEVER Pressure instead. Talk about primaries.
Or was she one who has been “persuaded” by lobbyists??
Bump that!
These kinds of conversations should stay between husbands and wives.
