Left Targets Trump Appointees With Bomb Threats, SWATting Hoax Calls Designed to Get Them Murdered by Cops

The party of love, joy, and reason.

Deb Heine reports:

Several of President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet and other administration appointees were targeted Tuesday night and this morning with "violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them," Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman and incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced in a press release Wednesday. According to Fox News, "nearly a dozen" Trump appointees were targeted. "These attacks ranged from bomb threats to 'swatting,' Leavitt said in the statement.

In case you don't know, "SWATting" is the practice of calling in a hoax call claiming that an armed and dangerous person is killing people at the target's address, hoping to get heavily-armed and amped-up SWAT officers to shoot and kill the target.

It's attempted murder.

"In response, law enforcement acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted. President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action," she added. "With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us."

"The violent left has been calling in bomb threats and swatting incoming members of the Trump Administration," Donald Trump Jr. wrote on X. "Enough is enough with this type of deranged crap!"

The FBI said in a statement Wednesday morning that it is "aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming Trump administration nominees and appointees," and that they are working with their law enforcement partners.

"We take all potential threats seriously and, as always, encourage members of the public to immediately report anything they consider suspicious to law enforcement," the Bureau stated.

Yeah sure.
