CNN — A Georgia man has been charged with threatening to kill GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, her family, and her staff.

Sean Patrick Cirillo, 34, of Macon, Georgia, called Greene’s office on Wednesday and threatened to shoot and kill her, according to the representative’s office. Greene’s office shared a recording of a threatening phone call with CNN.

“I’m going to murder her; I’m going to shoot her in the (expletive) head and kill her, OK,” the caller said. “Tell the FBI.” “You’re going to die. Your family is going to die,” the caller yelled.

Cirillo is charged with using communications devices to make threats, according to a spokesperson with the US Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia — a felony offense.

1. So dumb. Doesn't matter who the congress person is.

Off to jail. I understand frustration. But you never threaten murder.

[hlthe2b]

2. Yes. Absolutely NO defense for this. That said, MTG is so inciting, she may experience more of this.

[EllenD]

24. Funny how she wants to defund the FBI

They are they when she needed them. Now she knows what others feel like when she makes threats.

[BComplex]

9. Then Trump should be off to jail for threatening, who was it, General Milley?

Whoever he was calling a traitor.

[jimfields33]

10. Of course.

[Polybius]

20. The difference is that Trump didn't say that he was going to do it himself

He said something along the lines of "He should be charged with treason, and we all know what the punishment is for treason.' A stark legal difference.

[Dulcinea]

18. As odious as she is...

...this is NOT acceptable on any level.

[BaronChocula]

3. Next Day...

MT Gangreene introduces amendment to reduce FBI director's salary to $1.

[onenote]

16. Huh? Why? They're the ones arresting the guy threatening her.

[BaronChocula]

17. Because

The FBI has been pursuing 1/6 terrorists
The FBI conducted a search on Dumb Corleone for classified documents
maga traitors hate the FBI
Margarine Traitor Greene has been introducing amendments to reduce the gov't salaries of people she hates to $1

No, she hasn't moved to reduce Chris Wray's salary... yet. It was just a joke referencing what an idiot she is.

[2naSalit]

4. Okay, so...

What about the thousands of threats made to Dems and innocent civil servants? When will those be arrested or even investigated?

[jimfields33]

5. I'm sure some have been and some are in jail.

[2naSalit]

6. How would we know?

It never ends up being newsworthy for some reason.

[jimfields33]

7. It's strange that people think media is liberal.

It’s not. Not even close. But it’s odd that it has that reputation. Very unfair.

[Wuddles440]

8. It's because the general public...

has been conditioned to believe this after being bombarded for decades with such messaging by the right wing propaganda machine. In reality it's actually the right wing that now dictates the tenor of the MSM.

[BComplex]

11. Bingo!

You nailed it, Wuddles.

[onenote]

14. You'd know if you paid more attention, I guess. It happens and is reported all the time.

Took about a minute to find these. There are plenty more.

12. It's a wonderful thing that a majority of us support the institutions of government that will investigate this...

Food for thought; Madam…

[Wonder Why]

13. Not guilty! Can I be on the jury?

[Polybius]

21. Thankfully, no

[AntiFascist]

15. If MAGAts want civil war, then they may need to expect more of this n/t

[Grins]

19. So, Marge: how does it feel when YOU are the target? NM

[Polybius]

22. "Tell the FBI"

Well, she did. How's that working for you now that you're in jail?

[The Grand Illuminist]

23. War is hell.
