Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-GA, expressed feeling “heartsick” after a bomb threat at her home led to a fatal traffic accident. The Rome Police Department responded to the threat, which turned out to be unfounded, but an officer en route to the scene was involved in a crash that resulted in the death of Tammie Pickelsimer. The crash is under investigation, and the FBI is also looking into the bomb threat, which was traced to a Russian IP address. Greene condemned the violent threats, emphasizing the toll they take on law enforcement and the tragic consequences they can have. This incident is part of a larger trend of political figures receiving threats, with several Democratic lawmakers and Trump Cabinet nominees targeted in recent weeks. Greene’s reaction to the incident reflects the seriousness of such threats and the need for heightened security measures for public officials. As the investigation continues, authorities are working to ensure the safety of all individuals involved and prevent similar incidents in the future.
