US House lawmaker receives death threats after voting against Jordan for speaker
Miller-Meeks, a Republican who represents a politically competitive district in Iowa, voted for Jordan the first time but switched to vote for Representative Kay Granger, chair of the House Appropriations Committee, on Wednesday afternoon.
Since then, Miller-Meeks said in a statement, she has received "a barrage of threatening calls" in addition to multiple death threats. She added that the authorities have been notified and her office is fully cooperating.
"One thing I cannot stomach, or support is a bully," she said. "I did not stand for bullies before I voted for Chairwoman Granger and when I voted for Speaker designee Jordan, and I will not bend to bullies now."
It was not immediately clear who made the threats.
"... I mean, I've supported bullies every single day of my life until today, when I was the person being bullied. And I will go back to supporting bullies tomorrow, because I have learned nothing from this experience."

Does she not know who Jordan is? Was she asleep during his attacks on our nation's heroes during Trump's first impeachment?
She knows exactly who he is, she just doesn't care because he never attacked her before. She's a conservative, and like all conservatives, she does not perceive her own narcissism.
Hero is a bit much of a word for someone who joined an organization that attacks other countries all the time
To be Republican, you must be completely incapable of empathy
Their training videos on Fox News teach them how to turn it off. "Oh, I don't know too much about that there" "oh, I'm no expert on that"
