At least five Democrats in Congress were targeted on Thanksgiving with bomb threats, but they announced they are safe with their families and in touch with the authorities.

The lawmakers were Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), as well as Reps. Jahana Hayes (D-CT), Jim Himes (D-CT), John Larson (R-CT), and Joe Courtney (D-CT). The news comes days after several of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees were targeted with bomb threats or “swatting” (which is when hoax calls are used to draw in armed police to a person’s location).

“At 7:47 a.m., I was notified by Chief Edward Stephens of the Wolcott Police Department that they received a threatening email stating a pipe bomb had been placed in the mailbox at my home. State police, U.S. Capitol Police, and the Sergeant at Arms were immediately notified,” Hayes said, announcing that police responded and found no explosive materials on the scene.

“At this time the investigation is ongoing,” Hayes said. “I thank law enforcement for their swift attention to this matter, their actions demonstrate there is no place in our country for political violence.”

Bomb threats toward Democrats were signed ‘MAGA’: Jeffries

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) claimed that a slew of bomb threats made against congressional Democrats on Thanksgiving Day were “signed with ‘MAGA.'”

In the statement from his office, Jeffries demanded the “maximum protection” for members of Congress, saying that the threats were “unacceptable, unconscionable and have no place in a civilized society.”

Almost the entire congressional delegation from Connecticut reportedly received bomb threats on Thursday. Those included were Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), Reps. Jim Himes (D-CT, Rosa DeLauro (D-CT.), John Larson (D-CT), Joe Courtney (D-CT), and Jahana Hayes (D-CT).

The threats on the members of Congress “ranged from detailed threats of a pipe bomb placed in mailboxes to swatting” and were signed with ‘MAGA’ at the conclusion of the message,” a Jeffries spokesperson said, according to Axios.

Jerries’s office has been in “close communication with the Sergeant at Arms office,” according to the statement, which added that “it is imperative that Congress provide maximum protection for all Members and their families moving forward.”

Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-RI) shared Friday on X that his home was also subject to a bomb threat, but there was no evidence of a bomb found.

The threats against the Democrats come after Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and former Rep. Lee Zeldin, Trump nominees for ambassador to the United Nations and Environmental Protection Agency administrator, respectively, were targeted by bomb and swatting threats earlier this week.

Almost certainly those "threats" were sent by other liberals.
