Charges against man who participated in assault on the Capitol for death threat to Alexandria Ocasio Cortez

Washington dc – Federal authorities charged a Texas man who participated in the congressional attack with threatening to kill Puerto Rican Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez on Twitter.

According to CNN, Garret Miller was charged with five counts, including making death threats and breaking into the U.S. Capitol without permission, as part of the assault on Congress by supporters of then-President Donald Trump, an event which the federal government is investigating as an act of domestic terrorism.

According to the indictment, Miller tweeted “murder AOC,” the acronym by which the congresswoman’s name is identified.

Miller also noted that the policeman who shot at a woman who tried to enter the chamber chamber, as part of the mobs, “deserved to die” and was not going to survive long because “it’s hunting season.”

Miller was arrested Wednesday. His lawyer, Clint Broden, has indicated that his client is sorry for the comments he made.

“He did it in support of former President (Donald) Trump, but he regrets his actions. He has the support of his family, and many of the comments, seen in context, are a kind of wrong political hyperbole. Because of the political divisions these days, there’s a lot of hyperbole, ”Broden noted.

More than 135 people have been charged with federal charges because of their involvement in the assault on the Federal Capitol, which the U.S. House of Representatives determined was incited by then-President Trump, with the intent to try to reverse the result of the November 3 election.

Trump, and all after leaving the presidency, will face a political trial in the U.S. Senate beginning Feb. 9.

The attack disrupted the constitutional process of counting the votes of the electoral college and endangered the lives of members of Congress and then-Vice President Michael Pence.

After the violent incident, Congresswoman Ocasio Cortez, a star among liberals and a target of constant criticism from Republicans, revealed that in the midst of the assault on the Capitol by mobs of Trump supporters there was a time when he thought he was going to lose his life.

“I had a very traumatic event and I don’t know if I can fully disclose all the details of this event due to security concerns. But I can tell you that I had a close encounter in which I thought I would die,” he said. dir Ocasio Cortez.
