(WND News Center)—Concern over violent Democrats, violent Democrat rhetoric and those who would act on those words is pushing a number of Trump administration officials into protected housing on military installations in the Washington, D.C., region.

For example, War Secretary Pete Hegseth now is renting Quarters 8 at Fort McNair, a location that traditionally had been home to the Army’s vice chief of staff but recently was vacant.

Other Trump officials have taken up other military-guarded residences, because of threats.

Marco Rubio, secretary of state, lives a couple doors down from Hegseth, mostly alone as his family has remained in Florida, federal officials confirmed.

And Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, is living in a structure owned by the Coast Guard. She also is paying “fair market rent,” DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin confirmed.

Also in military housing is Daniel P. Driscoll, the Army secretary, and Navy Secretary John Phelan.

The threat level is turning out to be significantly higher than during Trump’s first term, when only Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo resorted to living at protected locations.

American Military News pointed out the officials have taken up military location residence because of “repeated threats and security concerns.”

“The Atlantic reported that at least 6 Trump officials are currently living in military housing instead of in private homes and apartments in D.C. and the surrounding area due to harassment and threats of violence against the officials. The outlet reported that several of Trump’s top cabinet officials have been swatted, faced violent protesters, and been threatened by anti-Trump protesters during the first several months of the president’s second administration.”

Of course, Democrats have labeled President Donald Trump “Hitler” and his followers “Nazis” for years already. There have been a number of extremists that have tried to act on that ideology.
