NH Rep. Goodlander targeted by bomb threat following video to US troops
WASHINGTON (WCAX) - Several democratic lawmakers now say they have been targeted by bomb threats after appearing in a video that urged troops to disobey illegal orders. That includes New Hampshire Rep. Maggie Goodlander.
A spokesperson for Goodlander-- as well as others for Reps. Jason Crow of Colorado, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania and Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania-- say their respective district offices were targeted by bomb threats. A spokesperson for Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan says her home also received a threat.
They are five of the six lawmakers who released a video urging US troops to disobey illegal orders that might be issued by the Trump administration.
President Trump described the video as “seditious behavior - punishable by death.”
“The president of the United States, our commander in chief, is the most powerful person in the world, and when he says something, people listen, and his words have real-world consequences for real people,” said Goodlander, D-New Hampshire.
Goodlander went on to say that rhetoric like Trump’s is just a distraction from the real issues harming Americans, like the cost of health care. ——WCAX News
