I thought McConnell already took care of Adam in the Senate?
Hate flows from the top down.
Im only going to tell you this 7 times so you better listen good. Thank heavens he's the only one that thought that way.
I wonder who’s his most favorite guy in the world?
Special snowflakes that can't stand that people tried to hold their lawless President accountable.
Waiting for Trump to pardon him.
Blame it on Trump, right news media ? And by the way, how many death threats does this President get a day, a couple hundred ? But that doesn't fit your President Trump and his supporters are no good narrative, does it ?
Anyone who threatens or attempts harm to any US citizen, politician or not, needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Regardless of political affiliation.
😐
So sad what has become of our country. Donnie must be voted out.
If they really are gonna do it they wont post about it
Schiff brings it upon himself with his divisive rhetoric and lies
Why was he arrested? Is he not a member of the press? A member of Hollywood? That's not fair.
definitely NOT a schiff or Schumer fan, but threatening to kill someone is a crime. absolutely crosses the line, and he should be punished. Hard to believe he’s of sound mind..how stupid would you have to be to identify yourself and threaten gov official on recorded voicemail?
Impeach Cuomo
catch & release?
Why would anyone want to kill Schiff and Schumer? Make them live their miserable lives.
It's so odd to me a Black or Brown teenager who steals will have his mug shot all over social media & sensationalized headlines but an article about a Trump supporter who threatens to kill democrat members of government is sans a mugshot. 🤔Salvatore Lippa of Greece, NY just fyi
He should be arrested but like always, ABC only reports stories like this when it’s a right wing wacko and ignores the hundreds of left wing wacko stories
I bet Trump loves him & will pardon him!
Didn't see this on Fox - Can't be true.
Trump’s next pardon...
i'm pretty sure thousands of people would pay to have trump killed tomorrow
Wow... is was that guy in a coma or something... it’s all over now... geeezzz!
Trump's crooks.
Suspect’s name is John Barron.
Why hasn't Baby Dump pardoned this NY man yet? LOL!!
This is not how to handle corrupt politicians. That being said, when will all those that threatened President Trump's life and his family members? Oh wait, they will not face charges in our two tier justice fraud.
He’s now stumping for Trump
I blame ABC and the rest of the news media for driving somebody to this with their constant anti Trump propaganda of these 2 crooks grandstanding headlines !
This seems to get more coverage than the Bernie bro running over GOP voters. I wonder why?
dont worry trump will release him
Freedom of speech. Never should have been arrested for wanting to take out tyrants.
Not surprised....you don't get to try to ram through a 100% partisan effort to remove the duly elected POTUS and not piss some freedom loving people off.
Another trump pardon on the way !
I’m sure 45 won’t pardon him if convicted 🙄
It begins
Just another one of Trump's 'very fine people' I'm sure.
Iet him go.
Hmmmm......I wonder who perpetuated this kind of action?
Thank god he’s in Ny they will let him out fast
It has nothing to do with trump and all to do with the Democrats. They have become the most hated people on the planet. They are delusional and so is
nice how they jumped on that so quickly yet i dont hear about arrests for all the threats the President receives on a daily basis, way to go
The left keeps stirring the pot so their thugs are going after gop people and the nuts on the right are going after those who caused the unnecessary drama created over the last 4 years.
I am sure he will be out without bail in no time.
Will Trump pardon him? Probably because it furthers his agenda

ANOTHER NUTCASE, wonder who’s FAN he is!
Now how do you arrest a man for that yet to be committed or any indication of conspiracies to commit any crime!!! Since did our system of justice become so preemptive to charge and prosecute a person for making threats!!!! This is ludicrous!!!!
There is a lot of people who say they want Schiff. That seems to go with the terrority. All this means is others will hide their hate for Schiff.
Don't you just hate empty threat's
LeslieMarshall I'm sure realDonaldTrump will pardon him.
This guy is a freaking lunatic! But if my memory serves me right, didn't someone say they 'thought about blowing up the White House' and she wasn't even arrested? Just an example of the left can do/say anything and not be prosecuted. hypocrisy
Didn’t trump pardon him yet?!!!
Dam ...
SaRaAshcraft I mean....good beatings would do.
Hey Melania, no one is listening to you. See? Your Be Best campaign is BS. These people are inspired by your husband’s be bad rhetoric.
Let me guess trumper who is ready for a civil war?
Trump got some nuts out there; we all should be afraid.
No one is to blame here except the person that posed the threat to kill that's like going to a airport and threatening to blow it Up!! As much as this guy dislikes unfortunately threats are taken serious on line!!
Put that man in jail for life! We need these clowns to stick around 😁
SaRaAshcraft I wonder if Obama will take credit.
Look, any nut that threatens anyone should be arrested as this one should be. But please don’t connect him to President Trump.
Cant blame him....
New York, they will do a 72hr psych hold and turn him loose🙄
Was he let go like the murderers n rapists?
Trumper Terrorist.
Hello!!! You don’t kill people in office that you don’t like... you vote them out and that is the American way. Why you are so infatuated with Trump I will never understand. Mentally challenged would be your problem Sir.
These far right nuts are dangerous. Trump emboldens them! Didn’t he just say that Schiff hadn’t gotten what he deserved. Those far right Maga jump on that!
It was only a matter of time before one of the president's supporters did something like this
Ridiculous it is happening on either side.
Well done indeed 🇺🇸
It's just FRUSTRATION. We feel his pain!! Hopefully he gets a good conservative judge! Hate filled DEMOCRATS have created the combustible atmosphere.
2020 VOTE BLUE DEMOCRATS🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Trump
Wow 🙁
And realDonaldTrump reaction; alliswell
I absolutely hate what Trump has done to our country but I do not wish bad things on those who have different political opinions. Will our country ever recover and come together for the greater good?
Odd I recall leftist threatening to blow up the white house not too long ago, and several threats to harm POTUS by notable actors.
AnonsSynonymous AND.
Lol they are seditious trash
They got under the skin of skinheads
Blacklace40 I’m sure Impeached President Trump will pardon him.
Trump will just pardon him.
It’s really a damn miracle no one’s gotten hurt by these lunatics.
Shouldn’t have said anything and be like Nike......, J D I
He’ll be pardoned by noon Trump
SaRaAshcraft Well he should be out by now with your bail reform
Why don’t those who threaten to kill Trump and other conservatives get arrested? Are we not all equal under the law? Yeah we know
Yet if it were the other way around y’all folks would be agreeing that it would be ok todo that to trump... doublestandards
A Democrat upset Adam Schiff lied and did not get Trump🤪
AdamCC75 Going to go out on a limb here, but I’m going to say he was a trumpfer
