NYC Man Busted For Death Threats Against Top Dems

January 19, 2021 Extremists, Trump cultists

NBC New York reports:

Another man in New York has been arrested by federal authorities after he allegedly threatened to murder or incited others to murder members of Congress, according to the criminal complaint obtained by News 4 Tuesday.

The man, identified as Brendan Hunt, was arrested in Queens following a raid by the FBI — but he wasn’t at the siege in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, officials said Tuesday. The alleged threats were made in a series of posts on various social media websites under the alias “X-Ray Ultra” between Dec. 6 and Jan. 12.

He listed several by name in at least one Facebook post, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  Two days after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, Hunt allegedly posted an 88-second video titled “KILL YOUR SENATORS” on a video-sharing site.

The New York Daily News reports:



Hunt is an assistant court analyst for New York’s Office of Court Administration, according to public records. He was suspended without pay after his arrest Tuesday, an Office of Court Administration spokesman said.

He has posted nine “Stop the Steal” videos on YouTube featuring a long-haired, bearded Hunt who gives a brief introduction before playing clips of President Trump, Rudy Giuliani and other Republican politicians.

Hunt did not attend the riots at the Capitol earlier this month that left five people — including a Capitol police officer — dead as dozens of protesters laid siege to the building.
