"Enemies to the RW" and journalists who speak out getting death threats, having to move.

I know a lot of people aren’t crazy about Steve Schmidt but we need to hear about what people who are daring to “be out there” have happening to them. Death threats, disgusting posters being sent, being accused of pedophilia, your address being posted on RW sites, having to move.

There is a very small group of people who were prominent leaders in the pre-Trump Republican Party who never capitulated to Donald Trump. Lindsey Graham and I started out at the same place on Trump. The difference between us is that he is a coward, and I am not. He lacks integrity, fortitude, strength, conviction and honesty. I don’t.
Every person who stood tall when everyone else wilted became a target. I was forced to move out of my home because my address was shared across the right-wing media ecosystem, but also through an Associated Press story that was published in major dailies across the country. Here are just some of the fliers that were sent to every zip code in which I ever lived after the 2020 election:

(Flyers claiming he is dangerous and a pedophile)

These revenge fliers represent a couple of things. First, they are a taste of things to come for anyone who dares speak out against Trump.

Little egos with biggly concepts of a plan to bring harm to those who dissed you.


I suppose that’s why people continue to cuddle him in the media. Scared for their lives.
