New York man sentenced to nearly 3 years in prison for threatening Sen. Raphael Warnock

A federal judge sentenced a New York man to nearly three years in prison Thursday for making threats against Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga.

The man, Eduard Florea, 41, pleaded guilty in August to posting statements online threatening to kill Warnock, as well as illegally possessing ammunition. Florea, a Proud Boys supporter from Queens, posted threats against Warnock and other elected officials on Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, the day a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol to stop Congress from counting the Electoral College votes from the 2020 presidential election.

"Dead men can't pass s--- laws," Florea wrote of Warnock in a Jan. 6 message posted on Parler, a social media platform popular with conservatives, prosecutors said in court documents. He made a separate reference to Warnock's being dead, prosecutors said.

Warnock won his Senate seat Jan. 5 in a special runoff election.

13. WTF Is Wrong With These People?

I mean, there are a lot of assholes on the Reichwing side of the aisle that I can't stand...and if they dropped dead right this second, I wouldn't shed a tear. But, I certainly don't wish harm on any of them, much less actively make death threats. Honestly, how do you get so far off track as to think that's the right way to deal with someone you disagree with, appropriate or even moral?

I can't just can't even 🤷?♂️ with these people any more.
