  1. Election yr Politicians and negative propagandas have created a very dangerous environment. **Pres Obama signed E.O. to allow propaganda & Pelosi pushed smear campaigns. It's now coming back to haunt.

  2. Republicans get butt hurt when they are called out for what they are.

  3. Wow!! Didn't hear any complaints or news when this happened to our justices! It's all about the Democrats and how they feel! Deal with it!

  4. These are voicemails from cowards.

  5. Find these nuts, charge them with terroristic threats and throw them in a prison hole.

  6. Biden admin is purposefully trying to tear our country apart-don't let them. United we stand, divided we fall

  7. Jayapal didn't complain about the rioters of 2020. "Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal channeled Rep. Ilhan Omar during a recent interview on CNN this week; suggesting the 9-week-long riots in Oregon were just “some protesters at some building in Portland.” She didn't condemn the protesters in front of the supreme court justices' homes, or when protesters surrounded Rand Paul and his wife on the street, or when protesters yell and intimidate republican lawmakers trying to have a quiet meal at a restaurant. Most politicians, and well-known news hosts, receive death threats every day. If she doesn't like someone protesting at her home, she needs to condemn it when it happens to ANYONE! PERIOD!

  8. Breaking news- the calls were traced back to joes basement.

  9. IF SHE'S NOT A NATURAL CITIZEN SHE CAN NOT BE TRUSTED TO BE A TRUE AMERICAN – AND CERTAINLY HAS NO BUSINESS IN OUR POSITIONS IN GOVT – NO FRKN WAY –

  10. SCHUMER & SCHIFT ARE TARGETED ALSO AS LIBERAL TARGETS LIKE THE 50 YEARS THESE ATTACKS HAVE BEEN ON ME AS WELL. EVEN WHILE I NEVER WAS INVOLVED IN PROTEST, GOVERNMENT, POLITICS, OR ANYTHING BUT CONSERVATION & CONSERVATIVE RELIGION OF CATHOLIC. THEY WERE WITH GUNS ON MY LAWN IN ANNAPOLIS MD DURING NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, & JANUARY 2019 & JANUARY 2020.

  11. ID LIKE TO SAY ITS ONLY WOMEN OF COLOR BUT HILLARY WAS FIRST ON THE KNOCKED OUT BLOCK AND GOVERNOR WHITMER WAS SECOND. WE ALL MUST STAND UP TOGETHER AND STOP SEPARATION. IT IS ONLY WHITE MALES CAUSING THESE ACTIONS.

  12. An innocent man does not get angry like Trump does. The evidence against him started before Jan. 6, 2021, but has steam rolled ever since. His attempted coup on the attack from his MAGA force on our sacred capitol was the only proof needed when he waited three hours before doing anything. Politicians and police was the target of the traitors. He never called them out for what they really were because he loved it and them. The evidence continues to grow from his home in Florida. Nothing else is needed. Trump is sinking into a pool of his own slime. MAGA: Make Accountability Great Again. Vote in November for Democracy, not Trumpocracy.

  13. racism existed with Jesus when he walked here on earth against him that led to his crucifixion and that same foul spirit still exsists

  14. How about EVERYONE… SORRY.. YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL….MY SENATORS DON'T DO ANYTHING…. AND OF COURSE MORE MORE MORE FOR YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU UY

  15. Isn't this a hate crime? 😘

  16. It's because they are too afraid to attack men.

  17. Let's hope he's in prison, till he can't shoot his gun.

  18. A threat to my congressperson is a threat to tape my mouth shut. It is felt by us all, like observing any sort of violence and bullying.

  19. When Biden Budget doesn't pass at end of the month, none of these bills passed will matter.

  20. Look at this thing 🤣🤣🤣…. IT might have a bomb strapped to it's chest ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

  21. Was replacement theory derived because of their own insecurities? And did they forget the Golden Rule?

  22. In as much as their behavior is disgusting, in regards to them actually acting on it: if they were serious, they wouldn’t hoot and holler the way they do. Easy to keep an eye on these cowards because they all bark and no bite.

    It’s the ones who don’t make threats and just act on their disgusting impulses; those are the ones that scare me.

  23. Conservatives,Republicans don't target women of color,or people of color we target people of hypocracy and stupidity.We don't discriminate.
