According to court records, Frank Lucio Carillo made several threats against Harris, President Joe Biden, FBI Director Christopher Wray, several Arizona officials, and others on the right-wing social media platform, Gettr.
In response to a subpoena, the FBI discovered 4,359 posts from Carillo “targeting various public officials,” including Harris.
In several posts, Carillo allegedly threatened to cut out Harris’s eyes and described various ways he wanted to kill the vice president, court records state.
“I will cut your eyes out,” Carillo allegedly wrote in one rant, calling Harris a “b*tch” and expressing his hope that she would “suffer a slow agonizing death.”
Numerous similar posts are cited in court records, containing graphic and detailed threats against the vice president and others, including an Islamophobic post in 2023 where he wrote that people should “go out with your guns and kill all Muslims.”
When FBI agents first arrived at Carillo’s house regarding the social media posts, Carillo asked if they were there “about the online stuff” and admitted, “I posted it.” He then appeared to talk to himself, saying, “I guess I’m gonna need a lawyer,” according to court documents.
Federal agents retrieved two firearms from his home, including a pistol he bought in 2023 and a rifle purchased this year.
