More than a dozen House Republicans voted against Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) for speaker during the first two votes, and several say they have received threats since then.

Four Republican lawmakers have said they will not be intimidated by threats from supporters of the Ohio Republican, with two alleging they received death threats. Jordan has forcefully condemned the threats and called on supporters who are making the threats to "stop," adding that it is "abhorrent."

JIM JORDAN WON'T HOLD THIRD BALLOT, WILL BACK TEMPORARY POWERS FOR MCHENRY

Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID) was the first to speak about threats when he issued a statement shortly after the second speaker vote on Wednesday, when Jordan lost 22 Republicans in a failed vote.

"Steve Scalise earned my vote for Speaker in the last two rounds. He has repeatedly proven his leadership as our conference's Majority Leader, and I am honored to support him. Intimidation and threatening tactics do not — and will not — work," Simpson said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Hours after that first statement, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) announced in a lengthy statement that she had received "credible death threats" to her office. She had voted for Jordan in the first ballot on Tuesday but switched her vote to House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Kay Granger (R-TX) for the Wednesday ballot.

"However, since my vote in support of Chairwoman Granger, I have received credible death threats and a barrage of threatening calls," Miller-Meeks said. "The proper authorities have been notified and my office is cooperating fully."

"One thing I cannot stomach, or support is a bully. Someone who threatens another with bodily harm or tries to suppress differing opinions undermines opportunity for unity and regard for freedom of speech," she added.

Rep. Nick LaLota (R-NY) shared a threat he received from an individual after the New York Republican voted against Jordan for a second consecutive ballot.

"Go f*** yourself and die if I see your face, I will whip all the hair out of your fing head you fing scumbag," the threat to LaLota said.

In a post on X with a screenshot of the threat, LaLota said he "will not succumb to threats" and continued his vow to support a speaker candidate who will address the needs of his district.

Another Republican who had initially voted for Jordan but changed his vote for the second ballot, Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-GA), also said he received death threats in a statement on Thursday.

"As the Republican Conference designee, I supported Congressman Jordan on the first ballot. Following the first vote, I had genuine concerns about the threatening tactics and pressure campaigns Jordan and his allies were using to leverage members for their votes," Ferguson said. "I discussed this directly with Jim, and planned to support him on the second ballot. When the pressure campaigns and attacks on fellow members ramped up, it became clear to me that the House Republican Conference does not need a bully as the Speaker."

"I cast my vote for Majority Leader Steve Scalise, a principled conservative and unifying leader. Shortly after casting that vote, my family and I started receiving death-threats. That is simply unacceptable, unforgivable, and will never be tolerated,” he added.

The threats, however, do not appear to be limited to supporters of Jordan. Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), who voted in favor of Jordan on both speaker votes, claimed he received a threat for voting for the Ohio Republican, leading him to report the incident to Capitol Police.

"I was threatened for supporting Jim Jordan so I reported the threat to the Capitol Police. I didn’t blame the Republicans who voted against Jim Jordan," Banks said in a post on X on Thursday.

With Jordan's speakership bid still struggling to get to 217 votes on the House floor, another vote has not been scheduled. The House GOP looks poised to offer up a resolution to empower Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry (R-NC) in the interim while Jordan works toward securing the necessary votes.
