A federal grand jury has indicted a Minnesota man for allegedly making interstate threats against a Republican U.S. senator.
A news release from U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger’s office says Brendon Michael Daugherty, 35, left two voicemails for a U.S. senator whose identity remains undisclosed.
Both of the messages threatened the senator’s life.
Yahoo! News reports:
In the first message, Daugherty said, “You and the Republican Party should be proud that you’re pushing me to become a domestic terrorist. Have a nice (expletive) day; can’t wait to kill ya.”
In the second, Daugherty said, “I also just wanted to note, thank god the Republican Party is against gun control laws because it would keep guns out of the hands of a person that was disabled and volatile like I am, but you guys are totally against that. So I may actually get to carry out my nefarious goals.”
On Sept. 2, FBI agents spoke with Daugherty at his Coon Rapids home. According to court documents, he admitted making the calls and said he did so because the senator was “doing a bunch of stupid (expletive) with gun control,” and that he wants politicians to “feel a little bit pressured.”
Daugherty is charged with one count of threatening to murder a federal official and one count of interstate transmission of a threat. He made his initial appearance Friday in U.S. District Court.

Damn Biden supporter
Given all the Democratic talking points about right wing extremists, isn’t it funny how the guys who shoot up politicians (like poor Steve Scalise at a baseball game) are radicalized leftist Democrats?
Just another crazy democrat. Thanks for bringing us all together, Brandon.
I won’t make threats, but our mental midget of the day (Daugherty) should rethink starting a culture war with over 100 million Americans…..
His war, every lefties war is not with we normies, it’s with the living God who they hate.
Potato Joe and his demented band of rotten spuds.
My last month paycheck was 11000 dollars… All I did was simple 0nline work from comfort at home for 3-4 hours/day that I got from this agency I discovered over the internet and they paid me 95 dollars every hour. for more detail… https://indeedgold.blogspot.com/
It’s about time you stood up for someone’s rights.
Let’s go Brendon Michael!
