Some Democrats fear a mass shooting on House floor by a QAnon-Republican

A lot of my Republican colleagues glorify violence and proudly display the firearms they have in their offices, so it just makes me nervous that we could have a workplace violent event. Theyre not the most stable people, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) told Raw Story after voting for Speaker this week.
Its the opposite on the right. Dismissing, deflecting, or denying all things Jan. 6 has become en-vogue in todays GOP (at least to those whove avoided being labeled Never Trump before being retired).
Democrats cant not think about it. Especially the handful of their GOP colleagues many suspect to know are seditious felons.
They already have a history of letting insurrectionists in the building and showing them around, Swalwellwho made public some of the vile death threats his family has enduredsaid. So it just seems like a recipe for disaster.

(Rep. Jayapal has also spoken out about threat of violence. Remember an armed man stalked her at her home.)
