Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) addressed concerns regarding the practice of doxing—the public release of private contact information—following reports that former President Donald Trump leaked a Republican lawmaker’s phone number on social media. During an appearance on ABC’s “The View” this past Monday, Tillis signaled that he would not remain passive if he were targeted in a similar manner.

When asked about the possibility of the former president sharing his personal contact details, Tillis responded, “With all due respect, I got his number too.” This comment highlights the ongoing tension between Tillis and Trump, as the senator has frequently clashed with the former president on various political issues. The exchange underscores a broader concern among some GOP members regarding the use of social media to intimidate or pressure colleagues by exposing their private information to the public.

While the specific incident involving the other lawmaker was not detailed in full, Tillis’s remarks serve as a direct warning that he is prepared to retaliate if his own privacy is compromised. The situation reflects the volatile nature of internal party communications in the current political climate, where digital platforms are increasingly used as tools for leverage or public confrontation. As of now, there has been no official response from the Trump camp regarding Tillis’s statement, nor has there been further clarification on the specific circumstances surrounding the initial leak that prompted the senator's comments.
