The background to the attack on Magdalena Andersson was another post from Jomshof on Monday, in which he wrote about Aftonbladet's Anders Lindberg.
The post included a picture of the Norwegian politician Vidkun Quisling, who collaborated with the Nazis during the German occupation of Norway. After the war, he was executed as a traitor. The post also included a picture of Lindberg.
"The man on the left is Quisling. The man on the right is a Quisling," Jomshof wrote, having previously chaired the Riksdag's Justice Committee and being high on the party lists for the Riksdag election in September.
Reacted strongly
Magdalena Andersson reacted strongly and told Expressen that she perceived the post as "very threatening".
"Of course, even Magdalena Andersson is a quisling. They all crawl for the Islamists, whose goal is to take our democracy and our country away from us," Jomshof wrote on X in a new post.
The reason for the attack on Anders Lindberg, according to Expressen, is that Lindberg warned that Jomshof could become Minister of Justice in a Moderate-led, but SD-dominated government. Something that Lindberg called a "nightmare."
The reactions have been strong, from several parties.
Andersson said on Tuesday evening that behind "Jimmie Åkesson, there are people like Richard Jomshof who control the Sweden Democrats."
"They are the ones who will make up the 12 Sweden Democrats ministers if Tidö wins the election. And Kristersson will have zero control over them," she writes in a comment to TT.
“Nowhere, ever, has a country become stronger or ordinary people become better off because politicians spread hatred, threats and division.”
“Disgusting and indecent”
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) is also critical.
"I think it's distasteful and indecent. That's just not how you say it. You can have a tough political debate and discussion even about difficult things. But you have to be able to distinguish between a thing and a person, honestly, that applies to both Jomshof and Aftonbladet," Kristersson told Aftonbladet, adding that he will talk about Jomshof's behavior with Jimmie Åkesson.
SD dismisses the criticism and believes that both S and Aftonbladet are throwing stones in glass houses. At the same time, Åkesson believes that Jomshof should not resort to overstatement.
"Superlatives tend to obscure the central message. In addition, debate always thrives best with objectivity and politeness. That said: Never has the word crocodile tears been more appropriate," writes Åkesson on X.
