Pete Hegseth Says He Will Not Be Bullied by Threats

Now that Trump is naming his administration officials, the left is starting to get wound up.  

Several officials have received threats, ranging from attacks with pipe bombs to being swatted.  

Many of the officials have come forward to say they will not be bullied, including Pete Hegseth, who Trump has nominated to be his Secretary of Defense. 

Won’t Back Down 

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t recall conservatives losing their minds and sending threats to Biden officials after the 2020 election.  

Yet, within days of Trump naming his officials, the threats started to take place.  

Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s incoming Press Secretary, revealed this week that just about every high-profile appointment by Trump has been threatened. 

Hegseth later revealed that he and members of his family had been targeted with the threats.  

He stated, "This morning, a police officer arrived at our home—where our seven children were still sleeping. 

"The officer notified my wife and I that they had received a credible pipe bomb threat targeting me and my family. We are all safe and the threat has been cleared. 

"We want to thank law enforcement for their professionalism and bravery. 

"I will not be bullied or intimidated. Never. President Trump has called on me to serve—and that is what I intend to do." 

Rep. Elise Stefanik, Trump’s nominee for UN Ambassador also received another threat, with it being reported, "This morning, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, her husband, and their three-year-old son were driving home to Saratoga County from Washington for Thanksgiving when they were informed of a bomb threat to their residence. 

"New York State, County law enforcement, and U.S. Capitol Police responded immediately with the highest levels of professionalism. 

"We are incredibly appreciative of the extraordinary dedication of law enforcement officers who keep our communities safe 24/7." 

I fear we are now seeing the calm before the storm.  

Come inauguration day, I fear we will see the worst of what this country has to offer from liberals and progressives.
