A federal court judge sentenced a former Trump supporter for an emailed threat to kill Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and three other congresswomen.

FILE - U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn speaks, as U.S. Reps., from left, Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., listen, during a news conference at the Capitol in Washington, July 15, 2019. A federal judge sentenced David George Hannon to three years of probation and a $7,000 fine for sending an email threatening to kill Omar and the three other congresswomen after the news conference.

“He was doing that because Trump told him to,” his daughter, Elizabeth Hannon Dillon, told the judge during the hearing on Wednesday. “He was a Trump supporter and now he regrets it.”This threat was “heinous and inappropriate in every regard,” U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle said. “This sort of behavior has no place in our society.”

“I’m very, very sorry and very remorseful about my behavior that night,” Hannon said as he stood before the judge, stooped and trembling. Omar's staff immediately notified federal agents, but the FBI didn't visit Hannon at his Sarasota home until 19 months had passed and Trump was out of office.

GOP Rep. Biggs: Biden Should Be ImpeachedOn Tuesday on FNC's 'Tucker Carlson Tonight,' Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) suggested impeaching President Joe Biden for his administration's reluctance to enforce immigration law was warranted given the impact it had on the country. | Clips Agree Joe Biden pourrait être destitué pour de nombreuses raisons, la gauche étant beaucoup plus radicalisée et disposée à détruire sa nation sur la base de ses propres idéaux et principes. Espérons que novembre soit un tsunami rouge pour les États-Unis et que lui et 1/2 Biden is terrible, but this is an imaginary problem.
