“RINO” soon-to-be-former-Wisconsin 8th District Congressman Mike Gallagher told media this week that death threats and a swatting incident were the last straws for his time in the House, prompting him to announce his retirement and then resign late enough to leave the seat empty, Fox 11 reports.
“This is more just me wanting to prioritize being with my family,” Gallagher said ” I signed up for the death threats and the late night swatting, but they did not. And for a young family, I would say this job is really hard,” he continued, without elaborating on the swatting call. Fox 11 did was able to confirm with the Brown County Sheriff’s Office that a case was opened last year about a swatting call at Gallagher’s home in the county and later handed to the FBI for investigation.
This was well before Gallagher started really catching a lot of shit from the MAGA assholes for voting against impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, so it’s not clear what he had done to piss them off. Maybe it was some crazy libtard calling in the threats. Who knows.
