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.”
When MAGA sends their people, they’re not sending their best…
I would argue they are.
From what I’ve seen, they still might be their best…
Imagine anyone getting this riled up about Hakeem Jeffries, the most milquetoast liberal I can think of.
It makes sense once you understand the conservative mindset: “Anyone who disagrees with me in even the most tepid of ways is a flaming liberal and doesn’t deserve to exist, because I’m so fragile I must be validated in my beliefs at all times.”
Once you recognize that we’re dealing with an entire political party that has actively driven itself insane and become a cult, this sort of thing becomes perfectly expected.
I think our rhetoric isn’t insulting enough. We need to start calling them babies

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.
Is there a running tally of the number of J6 people who have been re-arrested for unrelated charges since being pardoned?
Pardon #2 incoming
Does anyone know who has the record for most pardons?
Edit: Record of receiving pardons, not granted.
The bigliest number. The greatest. The most number on earth.
Idk if it counts, but surely Andrew Johnson after the civil war right?
Received, given, or a combination ?
NY State charges.
I’m sure Bondi will contest and ask for federal.
Eerily similar to what’s happening in Russia with the murderers and rapists who “earned their freedom via glory on the battlefield” now murdeing and raping in Russian society
I’d rather he was arrested for threatening to kill Bernie or AOC. At least he woild be threatening a politician who actually matters. /s
who would’ve guessed
How perfectly normal
