A pardoned Capitol rioter was arrested last weekend for allegedly threatening to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
Court documents obtained by CBS News said Christopher Moynihan was arrested Sunday after saying in text messages that he planned to “eliminate” Jeffries when the top House Democrat spoke at an event in New York City on Monday.
According to a court filing by prosecutors in the New York state criminal case, Moynihan wrote, “Hakeem Jeffries makes a speech in a few days in NYC I cannot allow this terrorist to live.”
Huh, that’s weird. It’s almost like the J6 terrorists (stop calling these people “rioters”, FFS) are bad people.
I prefer insurrection because the only people they seemed to be trying to terrorize were people I’m ok with getting terrorized: any politician.
Afaik they didn’t commit any acts of terrorism* against any civilians although I wouldn’t be surprised to be proven wrong on that point.
*Unless we are using dubya’s/trump’s definition of terrorism which is anything
They killed at least one Capitol cop, and while I’m not friend of cops, cops aren’t politicians.
Ah thank you for pointing that out, I am also fine with cops dying in general. Even tourist cops.
