Repug predicts threats of violence as GOP approval dives

Thursday, December 04, 2025

George Bush speechwriter and podcaster Tim Miller says anti-gerrymandering Republicans in Indiana are catching increasing threats of violence as the party's unpopular policies continue to sink it. Indiana Republicans are making another push at mid-decade gerrymandering, unveiling a new congressional map that eliminates all of the state's Democratic seats, flipping the state's congressional map from a Republican advantage of 7-to-2 to 9-to-0. Meanwhile, the pressure on Indiana Republicans who oppose the power grab has escalated to include threats of violence, with nearly a dozen state lawmakers reporting that they have been the victims of SWAT or doxing attempts.

State Senator Jean Leising (R-Decatur), who opposes Trump's redistricting effort, says she was the target of a pipe bomb threat, but said the threat "will not stop me from serving my community to the best of my ability."

Miller said threats of violence will likely get more common as the Republican Party gets more desperate to counter massive nationwide rejection of the party's policies and President Donald Trump.

"I think that if this [Indiana gerrymandering plan] doesn't work, you will see an escalation of this, in part because they're getting desperate," Miller told MS NOW anchor Nicole Wallace. "I mean, the fact that this much pressure is being put on Indiana over two seats shows how desperate they are."
