‘Intimidation, violence will not deter us,’ Trump rep says, after threats against cabinet nominees

“With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us,” Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team, stated on Wednesday, after threats against nominees for the future administration.

“Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and administration appointees were targeted in violent, un-American threats to their lives and those who live with them,” she said.

“These attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting.’ In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted,” Leavitt added. “President Trump and the entire transition team are grateful for their swift action.”
