The behind the scenes intimidation campaign for Jordan to grab the speakership was worse than we knew. There were even credible death threats involved.

"When a Congressmember receives credible death threats, simply because of her vote, from extremist members of her own party, it’s a direct attack on the constitutional underpinnings of our democracy. For her to go public with it, especially in this poisoned atmosphere, is to be commended and may lend courage to others also under attack."
