A rioter who was pardoned by Donald Trump for the felony he was convicted of in the storming of the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 has pleaded guilty to a harassment charge over threats to kill the House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries.

Christopher Moynihan, 35, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor harassment charge in a hearing in Clinton, New York, prosecutors said, and will be sentenced in April. His representative could not immediately be reached.

“Threats against elected officials are not political speech, they are criminal acts that strike at the heart of public safety and our democratic system,” the district attorney for Dutchess county, Anthony Parisi, said in a statement.

That's unfortunate. Hakeem kind of sucks though.

Yeah but this guy thinks Jeffries sucks for all the wrongest and dumbest reasons.

“Hakeem Jeffries makes a speech in a few days in NYC I cannot allow this terrorist to live … I will kill him for the future,” the text messages read, according to the complaint.

These people think Hakeem Jeffries is a terrorist and ICE are not. They have a chronic and apparently incurable case of wrong-about-every-damn-thing.

Most of the weird complaints about Dems, by the nutters, are just...weird. There is always something legitimate to bitch about, but they just manufacture some bullshit and then focus on that.

Right. If he had been pissed about Jeffries voting yes on the Genius Act or something similar I could respect that.
