49ers contacted Congressman to express concern 

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) released the following statement on May 19 after former San Francisco 49er Bruce Miller threated to execute him in a direct message sent via Twitter on Wednesday.

“My family and staff are deeply disturbed by the threat of execution made to me by former San Francisco 49er Bruce Miller earlier this week. More concerning is that Miller has a history of arrests and convictions for violence. As a lifelong 49ers fan, I also appreciate the team’s leadership in reaching out to share their concerns. 

“Threats of political violence are unacceptable, but they will never silence me from defending democracy. My platform has always been to resolve our differences by voting, not by violence. 

“I invite my Republican colleagues, who continually remain silent about the violent environment in which we govern, to join me in condemning political threats.”
