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.
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.
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.
