The recent events surrounding President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet picks and appointees have caused quite a stir. Reports have surfaced that some of his controversial choices have been targeted with bomb threats and swatting. Among those affected were his attorney general pick, Matt Gaetz, his nominee for ambassador to the United Nations, Elise Stefanik, his choice to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeldin, and his Department of Labor pick, Lori Chavez-DeRemer.
In a statement released by the Trump transition team, spokesperson Karoline Leavitt expressed concern over the "violent, unAmerican threats" made towards these individuals and their families. The team added that these threats have occurred both last night and this morning. It's a distressing situation that has caught the attention of the FBI, who are currently investigating the matter, alongside other law enforcement agencies.
The gravity of the situation has not gone unnoticed by President Joe Biden, who was briefed on the matter. According to White House spokesperson Saloni Sharma, Biden is closely monitoring the situation. It's a concerning turn of events, and it has thrust the safety and security of these nominees and appointees into the spotlight.
It's not uncommon for political figures to face backlash and criticism, but these threats take things to a whole new level. The idea that someone would actively seek to harm these individuals and their loved ones is deeply unsettling. As the transition period continues, it's crucial that the safety of all involved is prioritized, and that those responsible for these threats are held accountable.
