Trump, MCCarthy and MAGA Republicans are dangerous inciters of violence.  They know full well what will result from their actions because we all watched January 6 unfold.
Oh look, another right-wing emotional nut job making terroristic threats to a Democrat after listening to another right-wing nut job's comments.
I'm not sure what's worse; things like this or the fact that it's not shocking to me anymore. >

Or the fact that this kind of vitriol will only get worse now that the republicans have the majority again. There’s no accountability or recourse for lies in politics, so there’s no reason to ever stop! >

Fired?   I'd suggest they arrest him.   Isn't making a death threat against someone and their family still against the law in most places? >

Pulled from Wikipedia:
"Threatening the government officials of the United States is a felony under federal law. Threatening the president of the United States is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 871, punishable by up to 5 years of imprisonment, that is investigated by the United States Secret Service.[1] Threatening other officials is a Class D or C felony, usually carrying maximum penalties of 5 or 10 years under 18 U.S.C. § 875, 18 U.S.C. § 876 and other statutes, that is investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. When national boundaries are transcended by such a threat, it is considered a terrorist threat.[2]
When a threat is made against a judge, it can be considered obstruction of justice.[3] Threatening federal officials' family members is also a federal crime; in enacting the law, the Committee on the Judiciary stated that "Clearly it is a proper Federal function to respond to terrorists and other criminals who seek to influence the making of Federal policies and interfere with the administration of justice by attacking close relatives of those entrusted with these tasks."[4]" >

Thank you! >


The incident came on the heels of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy saying: “If you got the briefing I got from the FBI, you wouldn’t have Swalwell on any committee.”

There’s no shame with these assholes. >

What, the FBI says Swalwell is a goody two shoes boy scout that would make any cartoon evil wannabe self combust if nearby? Guess if I was McCarthy I’d be afraid to be on his committee too. >

At this point the GOP only stands for violence. They have no interest in governing, they have no interest in discussing ideas because they don't have any. They're fleecing the working class while they do this violent rhetoric schtick. It's a joke. The whole party is a cruel joke. >


they have no interest in discussing ideas because they don’t have any

Oh, they have ideas. They’re not ideas that sane, rational people would like but they have them. >


A tweet sent to Swalwell Friday night from the account of lab worker Jonathan Reeser vowed to “break” Swalwell’s “f**king face” if he ever saw him in person and said he wished the lawmaker’s family would be “raped and murdered.”

Yikes. What is it with this level of extremism and right-wing vitriol? >

Imagine getting so bent out of shape over politics. Dude's emotions are completely out of whack. I don't see a good or happy future there. >

Losing your job might be a wakeup for him.  One can hope. >

… or it may make him even battier and more extreme. >

It doesn't take too much red mist for some Americans to do something extreme and it's often when they're prodded by an orange buffoon - Jan 6th for reference. I hope this guy settles down, takes the L and does something with his life. But I've got severe doubts. >

And ot doesn't take too much red mist for them to back off like the cowards they are. Also jan 6th, for reference. >

Republicans and their stochastic terrorism turning their right wing supporters into felons. >

Republicans are just disgusting in this current climate. >

Threats like that should be prosecuted. It's meant to cause terror and intimidation. >

A tweet sent to Swalwell Friday night from the account of lab worker Jonathan Reeser vowed to “break” Swalwell’s “f**king face” if he ever saw him in person and said he wished the lawmaker’s family would be “raped and murdered.”
This is what the GOP has become. >
