The houses of a number of Democratic members of Congress in Connecticut have been focused by bomb threats on Thanksgiving Day.
Reps. Joe Courtney, Jahana Hayes, Jim Himes, and John Larson all stated their houses have been focused on Thursday.
“This morning, I used to be notified of a bomb menace focusing on my house the place I used to be celebrating Thanksgiving with my household,” Himes stated in a press release. “Fortunately, after a swift and thorough response from the USA Capitol Police, the Greenwich Police Division and the Stamford Police Division, no proof of a bomb was discovered.”

Police didn’t discover any proof of a pipe bomb in his mailbox and stated there’s no place for political violence within the nation.

“State police, U.S. Capitol Police, and the Sergeant at Arms have been instantly notified. The Wolcott Police Division and State Police responded and no bomb or explosive supplies have been found and the scene was cleared. Presently the investigation is ongoing. I thank regulation enforcement for his or her swift consideration to this matter, their actions display there is no such thing as a place in our nation for political violence.”
Native retailers in Connecticut reported that Larson and Courtney have obtained comparable threats. ABC Information has reached out for remark.
Threats towards a number of members of Connecticut congressional delegations come following a number of of Trump’s cupboard nominees receiving threats, together with Rep. Elise Stefanik, former Rep. Lee Zeldin, and Pete Hegseth.
It’s unclear, although, if the threats towards a few of Trump’s cupboard picks are related to the threats towards lots of Connecticut’s congressional delegation.
