House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has condemned a series of bomb threats made against Democratic lawmakers over Thanksgiving, describing them as 'unacceptable' and 'unconscionable.' The threats, which targeted members of the Connecticut delegation, were reportedly signed with 'MAGA' at the conclusion of the message. Jeffries has called for 'maximum protection for all Members and their families' in response to these threats. He emphasized that House Democrats will not be deterred or intimidated from serving the public by such violent threats. In his statement, Jeffries noted that the House has been in close communication with the Sergeant at Arms office.
