Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks suggested in a radio interview that Republicans are retiring en masse because of assassination fears.
. . . .
But Brooks said while there were multiple factors that contributed to a slew of Republicans leaving the House, he suggested fears of violence was a major one.
“One of the things that’s concerning me is the assassination risk may become a factor,” he said.
. . . .
“Notice a trend here?” he said. “I have a congressman who is a friend here who has a three-year old daughter whose daughter was threatened with murder.”
He also said the “socialist Bernie Sanders wing of society” was pushing for a revolution that would lead to Maoist level of violence. . . .

For God’s sake woman, get a grip.
Real men are all around and will not let this President fall.
Ever.
For God’s sake woman, get a grip.

Ever.
I'll suggest one more reason - the federal debt.
The next ten years look like the Bullet Train To Bankruptcy!
It is not far fetched to imagine a day when hungry, homeless mobs start dragging Congressmen out of the Capitol Building.
Get a grip? Sorry if seeing lawless criminals and traitors running rampant in our government and never being punished ticks me off. I’ll just go back to sleep since all of these ‘patriots’ and ‘real men’ are apparently on the job.
The Army?
Intersting point. I am only surprised it hasn’t happened yet.
This is what three decades of Presidents (everyone from 1989- 2016) and the media continuously attackingnthe concept of patriotism.
Everyday Trump puts his life on the line to save the country. Not everyone has his courage
I thought they were just turds circling the toilet bowl as PDJT is draining the swamp.
Brennan spied on everyone, and took the blackmail information with him.
If true, the only question is,” When does the shooting start?”
We sure as hell can’t rely on the FBI.
I was running as a Republican for Congress here in MA, district 3 this year. I pulled out after my wife and 4 children were threatened. I am moving to Texas next month.
Worth repeating.
Worth repeating.
The real battle is not with the left, it is with satan and evil everywhere these days. The assault on us has increased.
Republicans have no problem eating their own on the way to screwing this country. I used to be a republican. No longer— they’ve stuck their finger in my eye one to many times. Conservative, constitution loving politicians get my vote!!!!
Domestic enemies. The veneer of civilization is pretty thin, and the US is susceptible to being subverted.
Your assertions are incorrect, wrong and reflect ignorance or bias or both.
Republicans do not control the senate. Republicans lack the 60 votes to prevail.
The Republican House has always done it’s job and has passed tons of legislation passed up to the Senate where the bills were not taken up.
In effect, the House is of no consequence because it’s efforts are futile. The Senate with the 60 vote rule and a democrat insistence for total vote control insures that nothing gets accomplished.
As a member of the House, nothing you do actually matters. Why sacrifice and struggle when the effort is meaningless.
If it comes down to settling political disputes with blood, not one Democrat nor media figure will survive to see what comes next.
You tell me never to speak to you again and involve the moderator yet I am the hysterical loon?! Maybe if there was an ounce of truth to your outlandish claims you wouldn’t feel so threatened.
The U.S. has been a target of subversion for decades. The Soviets planted moles in education, media, and entertainment to plant propaganda and to train others to plant propaganda. What we are seeing now is the result of decades of effort.
Once upon a time, I believed that the U.S. could never fall prey to a totalitarian dictator. Then Bill Clinton was elected, and I realized that we are just as prone to calling for a Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin, etc., as anyone. The situation has grown more dire since then. Thanks to the Soviet moles, a large number of people do not understand freedom.
I'm of a mind that the subversion is not nation against nation, but is driven by trans-national forces. sure, the use actors that can be associated with nations, but national allegiance is secondary.
Add "church' to your list of institutions. Western Civ. is ridiculously easy to subvert. It has close to ZERO pride, sense of superiority, etc.
Or is that the cover because these pols have been forced to step down due to some sort of wrongdoing?
