Summary

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell claims Republicans fear criticizing Donald Trump due to threats against them and their families.

He says Trump’s social media attacks provoke harassment, forcing lawmakers to consider costly security measures. This fear, he argues, is eroding GOP support for Ukraine and discouraging opposition to Trump’s policies.

Other figures, including Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney, have echoed these concerns. Elon Musk has also pressured Republicans by funding primary challenges.

Some GOP lawmakers reportedly faced FBI warnings of credible death threats for opposing Trump-backed nominees.
