Proud Boys Wannabe Gets 3 Years In Warnock Threat

From the Justice Department:

In federal court in Brooklyn, Eduard Florea was sentenced by United States District Judge Eric R. Komitee to 33 months in prison for transmitting threats to injure others, including threats against now-United States Senator Raphael Warnock, and possessing ammunition after having been convicted of a felony. Florea pleaded guilty to the charges in August 2021.

Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and Michael J. Driscoll, Assistant Director-in-Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office (FBI), announced the sentence.

Florea posted threatening statements online about killing elected officials, including now-United States Senator Warnock, and committing other acts of violence in Washington, D.C., in connection with the certification of the results of the 2020 Presidential Election.

For example, on January 5, 2021, at approximately 8:40 p.m., Florea posted, “We need to all come to an agreement . . . and go armed . . . and really take back Washington.”

A few minutes later, Florea posted, “Tomorrow may very [well] be the day war kicks off . . .”

At 11:53 p.m. the same day, Florea posted, “Warnock is going to have a hard time casting votes for communist policies when he’s swinging with the f***ing fish.”

In the early morning hours of January 6, 2021, at approximately 12:42 a.m., Florea referenced Senator Warnock and stated, “Dead men can’t pass sh*t laws . . .”

As I previously reported, Florea intended to accompany Proud Boys during the Capitol riot, but his ride never picked him up.

According to the feds, he also threatened to murder his wife because she wouldn’t let him use their joint business account to make donations to the Proud Boys.

Despite that, she wrote the DOJ a letter begging for his release, which was denied in June.

As I reported at the time, feds arrested Florea in a startling show of force that included an armored vehicle. Florea has a previous felony conviction from 2014 when feds found a massive arsenal in his Queens home.
