Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer<\/a> revealed Monday that three of his New York offices were targeted with bomb threats, with an email subject line that read \u201cMAGA.\u201d<\/p>\n

The chilling messages alleged that the \u201c2020 election was rigged\u201d and were directed at Schumer\u2019s (D-NY) offices in Rochester, Binghamton, and Long Island, according to the minority leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal and federal law enforcement responded immediately and are conducting full security sweeps,\u201d Schumer said in a statement. \u201cEveryone is safe, and I am grateful for their quick and professional response to ensure these offices remain safe and secure for all New Yorkers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I have said many times, these kinds of violent threats have absolutely no place in our political system. No one\u2014no public servant, no staff member, no constituent, no citizen\u2014should ever be targeted for simply doing their job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schumer received notice from law enforcement\u00a0about the bomb threats earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

The Post reached out to Schumer\u2019s office for copies of the chilling messages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bomb threats against the top Senate Democrats come against the backdrop\u00a0of growing concerns about the safety of lawmakers and rising political violence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, Schumer requested the US Capitol Police provide \u201cspecial protection\u201d to Sens. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), who were in the president\u2019s crosshairs for cutting a video urging military service members to \u201crefuse illegal orders.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Trump accused them of \u201cseditious behavior\u201d and of undermining the chain of command in the military.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The House has moved to ramp up security for its members, with a $20,000 a month allowance for representatives to pay for security, as well as a \u201cMobile Duress Program\u201d among other steps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Several Reps. such as Jared Golden (D-Maine) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) cited security concerns as a factor in their decisions to step down from the lower chamber. Golden is set to serve out the remainder of his term, while Greene will resign next month.<\/p>\n

Over the past year and a half, there have been several alarming instances of political violence, including the Butler, Pa., assassination attempt against Trump, the June shooting of Minnesota state lawmakers, the arson attack against Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D), the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk, among others.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer revealed Monday that three of his New York offices were targeted with bomb…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57932,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[31359,31360,2065,9,11,10,87,58],"class_list":{"0":"post-57931","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-2020-election","9":"tag-bomb","10":"tag-chuck-schumer","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-headlines","13":"tag-new-york-news","14":"tag-politics","15":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57931\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
