This is one of the things that worry me




Virginia man charged with 

threatening to kill Kamala 

Harris


According to an affidavit in support of a criminal complaint, 66-year-old Frank Carillo, of Winchester, made 19 threatening comments about the vice-president and Democratic presidential nominee, using the rightwing platform Gettr.

The affidavit cites 19 mentions of Harris on the platform by an email account associated with Carillo, including a vow to “cut your eyes out of your head while you’re alive bitch” and the statement: “Kamala Harris needs to be put on fire alive I will do it personally.”

“Harris is going to regret ever trying to become president because if that ever happened I will personally pluck out her eyes with a pair of pliers but first I will shoot and kill everyone that gets in my way that is a fucking promise.”

...federal agents “seized an RF-15 rifle and a 9mm handgun” from Carillo’s residence.

...

A comment from the account linked to Carillo, from February this year, said: “I HAVE MY AR-15 LOCKED AND LOADED.”
