Virginia man charged with threatening to kill Vice President Kamala Harris
A Virginia man has been charged with making death threats against Vice President Kamala Harris and appeared in federal court on Monday.
According to court records, Frank Lucio Carillo made several threats against Harris, President Joe Biden, FBI Director Christopher Wray, several Arizona officials, and others on the right-wing social media platform Gettr.
In response to a subpoena, the FBI found 4,359 posts from Carillo “targeting various public officials,” including Harris.
In several posts, Carillo allegedly threatened to cut out Harris’ eyes and described various ways he wanted to kill the vice president, court records say.

What is wrong with people? As soon as the candidate isn't a white old man, people start threatening to kill them immediately.
As the article said, he was also threatening Biden.
Ahh, so it's even worse than racism. He wants to kill people he sees as "other"
In a way it's better than when they're old white men where they actually do kill them (Lincoln, Kennedy', ...)
A lot could be said about Kennedy but old is not really one of them
Technically he is old and shriveled now.
4359 posts? Oo
Was this his main job?
Amazing how fast the US justice system can move when the defendant isn't Donald fucking Trump.
Are we sure he isn't a violent immigrant that are threatening our livelihood that the Conservatives warned us about?
They don't mention anything about him being a drag queen either. Weird.
They keep saying the quiet parts out loud.
Glad they got him.
I don’t understand people like this. It seems so crazy. The only thing I want to kill are these FUCKING ANTS IN MY HOUSE. They’re everywhere.
I approve of this genocidal desire
