Republican targeted by pipe bomb threat for refusing Trump's demand

By David Edwards
Published December 1, 2025 12:15 PM ET

Indiana state Sen. Jean Leising (R) said she was the newest victim of threats after refusing a demand from President Donald Trump to redistrict the state ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

In a Sunday post on X, Leising revealed that her home "was the target of a pipe bomb threat on Saturday evening."

"This is a result of the D.C. political pundits for redistricting," she explained.

She should have added that the maga US Senate not once but twice and the (6 Maga ) US Supreme court members enabled this shit show when he had classified documents in his bathroom toilet and he got immunity................if one is to truly think about the actions accruing across this country...........being blackmailed by a 34 count convicted fraudster........

Are you going to buckle to the MAGAt terrorists?
Or are you going to stand tall and defy them?
The choice is yours, but if you do buckle, that makes you no better than those that issue these threats.
