Democratic State Representative Deb Stevens of Nashua, New Hampshire, has been unapologetic about her social media posts blasting President Donald Trump and his supporters as “unstable, full of hate & bigotry.” Stevens warned her supporters on Facebook Friday that “if Trump loses in 2020,” the president will incite his most violent and armed supporters to start a “mass slaughter” of Democrats and all his critics. House Republicans described Stevens’ posts as “offensive” and “dangerous” and have threatened her with disciplinary action.

Stevens doubled down on her critical comments about Trump voters and told Newsweek Sunday afternoon that she is filing police complaints after receiving threats of sexual and firearm-related violence.

“If trump loses in 2020, these people who’ve been stockpiling ammo & amassing weaponry, are planning to start a Civil War. What will that be like? Are they planning a mass slaughter? Who will the “enemy” be…those who voted for trump’s opponent?” Stevens wrote in the controversial Facebook post Friday. It linked to an article from The Hill which quoted a Trump supporters who said he’d back a “second Civil War” if Trump doesn’t win reelection in November.

“These people are unstable, full of hate & bigotry & boldly threaten violence should the election produce defeat for trump. These people are planning to use their guns to deliberately harm others. These are the dangerous people among us who own guns & brazenly declare their intentions to harm ppl who disagree with their views. When there is a mass slaughter, often the question is, ‘What did we miss?’ If these obviously disturbed declarations are not taken seriously, you’ve missed the Red Flags,” she continued.

Stevens told Newsweek Sunday that her support of red-flag laws and gun control legislation have made her a target for right-wing vitriol and threats through social media. “‘My AR is waiting for you Deb,’” Stevens said of one threat she received since creating the “Civil War” Facebook post.

“Very frightening responses just bc I wanted to post about the Civil War threats,” Stevens wrote in a message to Newsweek Sunday. “I advocate for Red Flag Laws. What a way to live.”

The New Hampshire House calendar shows two meetings this week have been set to discuss, as described in a notice, “several very disappointing social media posts” and a reminder that “members should not be writing anything in a public venue … you would not be proud to read from the well of the House.”

Responding in a Facebook comment, Stevens doubled down and wrote: “I would proudly state my position from the Well. Unapologetically.”

As the New Hampshire Union Leader reported, House Republicans are demanding that Democratic House Speaker Steve Shurtleff discipline Stevens for her “inflammatory” comments. Several GOP members accused the Democratic leadership of only punishing Republicans for controversial remarks.

House Republican Leader Dick Hinch of Merrimack issued the following statement to the Union Leader last week:

“The Speaker needs to publicly disavow these comments and tell us how he plans to discipline Rep. Stevens, as he has done to Republican members, over public comments. We all support freedom of speech, but as elected officials, there is also an expectation of decency and respect towards the citizens you represent. With these comments, Rep. Stevens has demonstrated she is unable to provide objective representation to the people of her district, and can’t be trusted to give a fair shake to citizens coming before her committee who may own guns, support the President, or any other condition she has expressed as being a danger.”

On Saturday, Stevens shared a New Yorker magazine article about Trump’s repeated claims there will be a “Civil War’ if he is removed from office as a result of impeachment. Stevens cautioned her own supporters: “Should we summarily dismiss the Warning Signs of incitement for Civil War should #45 lose the election?”

In October, Trump tweeted a quote from a Baptist pastor that described the impeachment of the president to a “Civil War like fracture in this Nation from which our Country would never heal.”

Stevens was elected to her New Hampshire House seat in 2018. Her term ends in December 2020.
