Another supporter of President Donald Trump has been arrested after death threats — this time against three Democratic lawmakers. In each of the voicemail threats, investigators say, the caller also viciously attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), just four days after the president posted 9/11 footage in a tweet targeting the Muslim congresswoman. It was the second time in less than three weeks that a Trump supporter has been arrested for threatening a Muslim American lawmaker. Patrick Carlineo, 55, of upstate New York was arrested for allegedly threatening to “put a bullet” in Omar’s “skull.” Following the arrest, Trump mocked Omar in a speech before members of the Republican Jewish Coalition. Swalwell issued a statement thanking Capitol Police for “protecting my staff and constituents.”
