The threat came in a direct message, which was sent to Swalwell from Bruce Miller's personal Twitter account. The message was threatening enough that Swalwell reported the matter to Capitol Police, according to NBC Bay Area.

"My family and staff are deeply disturbed by the threat of execution.…apparently by former 49er Bruce Miller," Swalwell told NBC. "Threats of political violence are unacceptable." The 49ers actually reached out to Swalwell on Thursday, although the congressman didn't offer any details on what was said.

Miller sent out a tweet on Thursday where he attempted to downplay the nature of his message to Swalwell. "I was content with trolling corrupt politicians in my DM's, but since you want to make a story out of it then that's what we'll do," Miller wrote. "That was in no way a threat to you or you family."

The former NFL fullback, who was a seventh-round pick in 2011, spent five full seasons with the 49ers, but got released just before the start of his sixth season in 2016. The team dumped Miller just days after he was charged with seven felonies after he allegedly assaulted a 70-year-old man. The 2016 incident came barely a year after he had pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor domestic violence charge.

Surprised MAGA Miller didn’t blame his actions on CTE

 

It might not be a threat coming from most people. But when it’s coming from a deranged MAGA scumbag who has an extensive history of committing acts of violence against everyone from women to the elderly, it will definitely be taken more seriously.
