House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Wednesday that the threats against President-elect Trump’s nominees and appointees are “dangerous and unhinged” and called on President Biden and other Democratic Party leaders to address the incidents to condemn.

“This year there was not just one, but TWO assassination attempts on President Trump,” Johnson said Wednesday in a post on social platform other. incident at his golf club in Florida, where officers thwarted an apparent attempt on his life before shots were fired.

“Now some of his cabinet nominees and their families are facing bomb threats,” he continued. “This is dangerous and unhinged. It’s not who we are in America,”

The Speaker added: “Joe Biden and all Democratic leaders have an obligation to speak out and condemn this now.”

Johnson’s comments come as at least four officials reported bomb threats at their homes the day before Thanksgiving. Trump’s incoming press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed in a statement Wednesday that several of the presidential nominees had faced “swatting” and other threats.

“In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those targeted,” Leavitt said.

A spokesperson for Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), who was tapped by Trump to serve as ambassador to the U.N., said the lawmaker’s home was targeted by a bomb threat.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office said a similar threat was made Wednesday morning in Florida regarding former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) – who has withdrawn his name as attorney general. The sheriff’s office said Gaetz does not live there, but a family member does. No device was found and the area was evacuated by authorities.

Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) said his childhood home was targeted by a pipe bomb threat with a “pro-Palestinian themed message.” Zeldin, a former Jewish lawmaker whom Trump picked to head the Environmental Protection Agency, said he and his family were not at the home when the threat occurred.

Brooke Rollins, the president-elect’s pick of Secretary of Agriculture, was also a target. Rollins reported online that she received a threat against her family and home in Texas. She added that Forth Worth police cleared the area and she was told she could return to her home.

Late last year, several lawmakers said their homes were targeted in swatting incidents on Christmas Day.
