Troubled ex-49er 'apparently' threatened Eric Swalwell, congressman says

The message reads “Almost time!!! Would you rather Guantanamo or just execution f—kin traitor,” along with three cry-laughing emoji.

The answer to Swalwell’s questions seems to be that it’s Bruce Miller, who was the 49ers’ starting fullback from 2011 to 2015. The “Guantanamo or just execution” is likely a reference to the long-running fantastical QAnon conspiracy theory that various liberal politicians and celebrities will be rounded up and possibly executed in military tribunals. In QAnon world, it’s always “almost time” for the roundup of people like Swalwell to begin.

“My family and staff are deeply disturbed by the threat of execution made to me, apparently by former San Francisco 49er Bruce Miller,” Swalwell said in a statement to SFGATE and other outlets.
