Authorities have arrested a Virginia man for threatening to kill Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris and other prominent officials. The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Frank Lucio Carillo, who lives in Winchester, Virginia, started making “nearly 20 threats” to Harris after she became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee:
The threats included promises to kill Ms. Harris and her family, to pluck out her eyes with pliers and to burn her alive. “Kamala Harris needs to be put on fire alive I will do it personally if no one else does it I want her to suffer a slow agonizing death,” Mr. Carillo said in one post on July 27.
Prosecutors said that Carillo had made several other threats to public officials including President Joe Biden and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Carillo also made “numerous other posts about firearms and shooting people,” according to the FBI. He created an account on GETTR – the right-leaning platform created after January 6 that was launched by Jason Miller, an advisor to former President Donald Trump.
