Arizona Man Charged With Threatening To Kill Trump

NBC News reports:

An Arizona man has been arrested after he allegedly posted videos online that showed him brandishing an AR-15-style rifle and threatening to kill President-elect Donald Trump and members of Trump’s family, authorities said.

Manuel Tamayo-Torres posted videos on a “near-daily basis” in which he accused Trump and the president-elect’s family members of kidnapping and sex-trafficking his children, according to charging documents filed in federal court in Arizona.

One video was shot at the site of a Trump rally held at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale on Aug. 23, the documents said. In a video posted on Facebook on Nov. 13, Tamayo-Torres holds up what appears to be a white AR-15-style rifle with a 30-round magazine and issues a menacing but difficult-to-understand threat, according to the court documents.
