Two Republican representatives said they’ve received death threats since they voted against fellow GOP Rep. Jim Jordan for speaker of the House.
On Wednesday, after Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks cast her first vote against Jordan’s candidacy after supporting him just a day before, she announced in a press release that her office received a “barrage of threatening calls” and that she “received credible death threats.”
Additionally, freshman GOP Rep. Nick LaLota, who voted for former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin in both speaker votes, also shared a threat to X that he and his office received on Wednesday.
