Rep. Eric Swalwell says former NFL player threatened him via Twitter

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California says former San Francisco 49ers and Jacksonville Jaguars fullback Bruce Miller sent him what he called a "threatening" message on Twitter.

Swalwell shared a screenshot Wednesday of a direct message purportedly sent by Miller that read: "Almost time!!! Would you rather Guantanamo or just execution," followed by a series of laughing emojies.

"f****n' traitor," the message concluded.
