Maine’s secretary of state said she has received threats in the wake of her decision to remove former President Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment on Friday.

“I was prepared for the possibility of threats, and I really appreciate law enforcement and the people around me who have been incredibly supportive of my safety and security,” Shenna Bellows (D) said during a Friday appearance on CNN. “My safety and security is important, so is the safety and security of everyone who works with me and we have received threatening communications.”

“Those are unacceptable,” Bellows continued.

    We should always expect violence from conservatives. Always. Any amount of resistance to conservative oppression will be met with violence and threats. This has been true throughout history.

    Conservatism cannot be cured by pacifism. Expect violence and threats. Never let conservative violence stop you from doing the right thing.
