Sources tell Vanity Fair’s Gabe Sherman that North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis was warned by the FBI of “credible death threats” when he was going back and forth about voting to confirm white nationalist alcoholic Pete Hegseth – for whom Tillis ultimately provided the decisive 50th yes.
Whatever makes this easier on him. Blame some extrinsic “threat” that, whether or not it’s actually credible, has essentially zero chance of succeeding. He’s a goddamned US Senator and it would be extremely unlikely for some crazed MAGA terrorist to succeed in an assassination attempt. Sleeps easier the safe coward than the hunted heretic, right? What a total fucking pussy.
In another little bit, Tillis’s staff denied to Sherman that he told people to read a 2006 book called “Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work” if they want to understand convicted felon former President Trump. Or they denied it was for that Trump-specific purpose. Jesus Christ this is so lame.
