GOP Rep. Peter Meijer Says He Is Buying Body Armor To Protect Himself After Voting To Impeach Trump

[634-5789]

Rep. Meijer said on MSNBC, “When it comes to my family’s safety, that’s something that we have been planning for, preparing for, taking appropriate measures at colleagues now traveling with armed escorts out of the fear of their safety. Many of us are altering our routines, working to get body Armour, which is a reimbursable purchase we can make. It’s sad we have to get to that point. But our expectation is someone may try to kill us.”

When asked if he was buying the body armor, Meijer said, “I am. You know, that’s, you know, we’re obviously trying to keep a very low profile. I actually spent a couple years ago in Afghanistan as a safety adviser to humanitarian aid organizations. So conducting assessments, taking mitigating measures, lowering one’s profile for safety and security purposes. That’s what I’ve done professionally. That’s something we are all working on together.”

1. Good idea, your party radicalized a lot of people....not sure how you missed that cupcake.

[gratuitous]

2. Can't be too careful about those antifa folks

You know how violent they get (they don't get violent, and they don't storm the Capitol Building).

[Ilsa]

3. If I was there, I'd do the same.

I'd wear it every day until the nation regains its sanity.

5. So, how's that MAGA stuff working out for you?

Reap what you sow!

6. I appreciate this man's bravery. It's a shame his party is

full of wackos. People here say they miss moderate/rational Republicans and then jeer them even when they do the right and courageous thing.

Hard work is ahead.

I hope this young man is able to work safely and I commend him for breaking ranks with the right wing nutters.
