(TheConservativeTimes.org) – Highlighting the growing political intimidation against conservatives, the Montgomery County Republican Committee Headquarters in Pennsylvania was forced to close after receiving a bomb threat.
This alarming incident is part of a disturbing trend of increased threats and violence targeting GOP candidates, offices and staff in swing states since September.
Described as angry and profanity-laced, the threatening call forced the office’s immediate closure.
This latest attack on Republicans comes amid a series of violent incidents. An Erie County GOP staffer received death threats and protestors forcibly entered the Delaware County Republican headquarters.
The Pennsylvania GOP issued a statement highlighting the alarming increase in threats, violence and intimidation against their party members.
Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Lawrence Tabas condemned the threats, stating, “Nothing will stop us from working to elect those who will put our country back on track.”
He emphasized the importance of peaceful political discourse, adding, “And there should be unanimous agreement that political violence has no place in our elections, especially after an innocent Butler County husband and father lost his life to political violence.”
Despite these challenges, Tabas affirmed that the committee remains committed to its electoral goals.
He urged Pennsylvanians to express their opinions through voting rather than resorting to violence and intimidation.
The escalating threats against Republicans have not been limited to Pennsylvania.
By mid-October, GOP-affiliated individuals across the country had received anonymous threats warning of dire consequences if presidential nominee Donald Trump wins the upcoming election.
These intimidation tactics appear to be part of a coordinated effort to silence conservative voices and suppress Republican voter turnout.
While local police, the Election Integrity Task Force and the FBI have been informed of these threats, questions remain about the effectiveness of law enforcement’s response.
Notably, both the FBI and Governor Josh Shapiro’s office failed to respond to requests for comment on the situation, raising concerns about whether Democrat-led institutions are taking these threats against Republicans seriously.
