Lawmaker reportedly reveals how Trump is pressuring GOP

​'They're getting death threats'

Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-OR) reportedly told constituents on Saturday that Republican lawmakers are siding with Donald Trump in part because they are receiving "death threats."

Dexter announced late last month that she would be having a town hall in Gresham, Oregon, on March 1. At that event, she made a shocking disclosure, according to a popular content creator who attended the meeting.

"I just got home from my congresswoman's absolutely packed town hall," said popular YouTube farming commentator Parkrose Permaculture.

She then provided what she said was a direct quote from Dexter about what happened in the Oval Office with the leader of Ukraine.

"I want to make it clear Ukraine gave up the third largest nuclear arsenal in 1994 in exchange for America and Europe's help for the long term. What Trump is doing is destabilizing everyone's security, the world security," the lawmaker said, according to the readout. "I am concerned that my children will be sent to war, a war that is unnecessary."

Dexter then reportedly added, "No one should misunderstand what happened yesterday in the Oval Office is putting our security at risk and the world's security at risk."

"There are Republicans who, when they think of stepping out of line, they get a call from the President," Dexter said, according to the report. "They are getting death threats."

In a follow-up post on Blue Sky, Parkrose Permaculture wrote, "Here's what I don't understand: if so many GOPs in Congress are truly getting death threats against themselves/their family, why aren't they recording the calls, putting them together and releasing them all to the public?"

"Shine a light on it and the threats lose al their power," she added.
