A longtime Voice of America employee was arrested Thursday, accused of threatening to kill far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, along with her staff and their families, including a call in which he allegedly vowed to shoot the congresswoman “between the eyes” with an AK-47.
According to the Justice Department, 64-year-old Seth Jason of Edgewater, Maryland, made at least eight threatening phone calls from the government-funded broadcaster between October 2023 and January 2024, the New York Post reported.
“I’m looking forward to your book signing. We are all armed and ready to take care of you,” Jason said in one message for the Georgia Republican lawmaker, federal prosecutors say.
“We’re coming after you and your staff, and we are locked and loaded. We’re going to take you all out,” the call continued. “We’ve got our AK-47s. You’re going to get one between the eyes. Bam, bam, bam.”
