The threats came after Trump publicly called on state lawmakers to pass new congressional maps that would benefit Republicans.
At least 11 elected Republicans in Indiana have been the targets of swatting attacks and other threats in the weeks since President Donald Trump publicly pressured state lawmakers to approve a new congressional map that would benefit Republicans.
In a lengthy social media tirade on Nov. 16, Trump blasted Indiana state Senate Republicans for not supporting the effort, naming two state senators and Gov. Mike Braun. The next day, Trump said he would “strongly” endorse against anyone who opposes the push.
Indiana House lawmakers began taking up redistricting legislation Monday, formally introducing the new map. The state Senate is expected to do the same next week.
Republican state Sen. Republican Mike Bohacek, who opposes redistricting, said in a statement Monday that he was the target of a bomb threat last week.
Tell me more about how the left is the violent party.
Classic misdirection from the Left where they threaten politicians into doing the thing they least want them to do.

Like all the Antifas at the Capitol on January 6!
Just like the Democrats hating Marjorie Taylor Greene for years, but it only took a few days of right wing hate to start rolling in death threats.
And it worked.
It’s be a real shame if the violent left were to firebomb the houses of those who changed their votes. A real shame indeed.
December 4th is just around the corner.
Yeah, that’s all Trump’s fault. And you goddamn know it. You also know it’s just bullshit from second hand assholes, so are you stand your ground like a man, or tuck your tail up your own ass and roll over on your back like a republican?
I guess this was because of BLM and “antifa”.
Don’t forget the radical left socialist nazis.
Maga on maga crime is a real threat.
I had to look up what swatting was on urban dictionary. Is it really such a common term in the states that a mainstream source like NBC felt it didn’t need any additional explanation?
Unfortunately, yes.
Yes, sadly it is, and it has resulted in death.
There was a period when a lot of online game streamers were getting swatted mid stream by some assholes who wanted to prevent them from winning.
Targetted with Threats by DEMONRATS I assume who were UPSET that they WOULDNT allow Republicans to Gerrymander More?
I like they way it says “at least”, implying it’s a good start…
