14 Times Republican Officials Viciously Harassed, Threatened With Death

Throughout the past couple of months, Republicans and government officials who work for President Trump have received death threats, been run out of restaurants and stores, and followed to their cars.

Here are 14 times Trump administration officials and Republican lawmakers have been threatened or run out of establishments recently.

The day before this showdown between Chao and protestors, Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters called for Democrats to "Create a crowd" whenever they see a Trump administration official at a restaurant or shopping mall and to "Tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."

On Saturday, a man was arrested in Suffolk County, New York, for threatening to kill supporters of Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin and President Donald Trump.

Two weeks ago, the owner of a restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, asked Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave her eatery because the White House press secretary works for the Trump administration.

In a recent threat assessment, DHS officials reported an uptick in the number of threats made against employees at the department since the increased attention to Trump's enforcement of U.S. immigration policies.

Miller reportedly told his colleagues that a bartender at a restaurant flipped him off when he went to pick up a sushi order at a nearby restaurant and repeatedly yelled at him.
