House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries condemned threats made against Democratic lawmakers on Thanksgiving Day, including bomb threats targeting multiple House Democrats from Connecticut. The threats were signed with “MAGA,” the slogan for President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign, and came a day after Trump’s cabinet nominees received similar bomb threats. Jeffries emphasized that threats of violence against elected officials are unacceptable in a democratic society and called for perpetrators to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Law enforcement reacted swiftly to ensure the safety of Members of Congress and their families, and no devices were found. Jeffries emphasized that political violence has no place in a civilized society and called for accountability for those responsible for such threats.
