According to President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team, some of his key picks have been the target of vile attacks in the last 24 hours.

Incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted a statement about the incidents, which didn’t reveal which cabinet nominees were specifically targeted.

Look:

“Last night and this morning, several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them. These attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting,’” Leavitt’s statement explains. “In response, law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted. President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action.”

“President Trump and the Transition are focused on doing the work of uniting our nation by ensuring a safe and prosperous future,” it continues. “With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us.”

Trump himself is no stranger to the threat posed by violent extremists who oppose his political ambitions, having survived two assassination attempts. It appears his enemies have no plans to slow down their escalating tactics any time soon.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) confirmed that she was among those who received threats in a post on X:

“This morning, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, her husband, and their three-year-old son were driving home to Saratoga County from Washington for Thanksgiving when they were informed of a bomb threat to their residence. New York State, County law enforcement, and U.S. Capitol Police responded immediately with the highest levels of professionalism. We are incredibly appreciative of the extraordinary dedication of law enforcement officers who keep our communities safe 24/7. We want to share our best wishes to the Upstate NY community for a happy and safe Thanksgiving. We are especially grateful to our law enforcement officers and military families who are on duty over the holiday season,” read a statement released by the office.
