Miller-Meeks, a Republican who represents a politically competitive district in Iowa, voted for Jordan the first time but switched to vote for Representative Kay Granger, chair of the House Appropriations Committee, on Wednesday afternoon.
Since then, Miller-Meeks said in a statement, she has received “a barrage of threatening calls” in addition to multiple death threats. She added that the authorities have been notified and her office is fully cooperating.
“One thing I cannot stomach, or support is a bully,” she said. “I did not stand for bullies before I voted for Chairwoman Granger and when I voted for Speaker designee Jordan, and I will not bend to bullies now.”
It was not immediately clear who made the threats.
“One thing I cannot stomach, or support is a bully,” she said. “I did not stand for bullies before I voted for Chairwoman Granger and when I voted for Speaker designee Jordan, and I will not bend to bullies now.”
“… I mean, I’ve supported bullies every single day of my life until today, when I was the person being bullied. And I will go back to supporting bullies tomorrow, because I have learned nothing from this experience.”

I did not stand for bullies… when I voted for Speaker designee Jordan
Does she not know who Jordan is? Was she asleep during his attacks on our nation’s heroes during Trump’s first impeachment?
She knows exactly who he is, she just doesn’t care because he never attacked her before. She’s a conservative, and like all conservatives, she does not perceive her own narcissism.
Exactly. So damn many of them are all fine until it happens to them and then the selfish nature of your typical conservative kicks in and it’s suddenly something to be upset about.
That’s really the defining characteristic of conservativism. There is no objective conservative idealism, only the defined self and its interests. Conservatives claim to favor low taxes and small government, but have no problem raising taxes on people who aren’t them or their donors, and will abuse government power to invade privacy or control economic influences to benefit themselves. Conservatives claim to be the party of “traditional morality” (which of course means whatever they happen to personally believe) but they will lie, cheat, fuck, steal, and kill as much as any other group, and will defend their members as long as they themselves are not victims of the transgressions.
I could write a book, but it boils down to egocentrism. If something benefits a conservative, it’s an important tradition, and if it does not benefit a conservative, then by golly we should get back to a time when it did.
Hero is a bit much of a word for someone who joined an organization that attacks other countries all the time
Regardless of what you believe about him being a purple heart veteran, at the end of the day he was one of the very few people that called out the President’s abuse of power and provided honest testimony that ultimately cost him his 20+ year career. That qualifies him as a hero in my book.
To be Republican, you must be completely incapable of empathy
Their training videos on Fox News teach them how to turn it off. “Oh, I don’t know too much about that there” “oh, I’m no expert on that”
Surprised that the people who have been threatening violence since 2015 are suddenly threatening her.
Well, perfectly normal Republican follower behavior. Nothing to worry about, this kind of people brought your party in power!
Why are death threats always the go-to thing for these people? Yet when some idiot calls them “deplorable”, they act like it’s the end of Civilization?
Very on brand for everything republican.
These people built an army of idiots. The only problem is they’re idiots…
I don’t get it! Anonymous death threats always work, don’t they?
Republican says “yes but I never thought it would happen to ME!”
All the more reason to make sure that shit stain doesn’t get it.
It was not immediately clear who made the threats.

These people get death threats all the time for all kinds of stupidity. This is just more Clickbait. 
LOL at your attempt to normalize terrorism
The party seeks the votes of the most extreme fringe violent parts of society and then acts indignant when that rage is directed at them.
