FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL — The Daily Signal has obtained the death threats made against an outspoken House Freedom Caucus member and his kids that have landed the perpetrator with an almost 10-year sentence in federal prison.
The man behind the threats, 26-year-old Edwin Guerrero, was also hit with a $15,000 fine, United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe announced.
“This pro-Hamas individual said he was going to kill me, my children, and make me watch as he killed them. I’m incredibly grateful that now he’s experiencing his own 9/11,” Fine told the Daily Signal in an exclusive interview. “The judge sentenced him to 9 years and 11 months in prison, one month shy of the maximum.”
Fine, who expressed his gratitude for the justice system for taking this matter seriously, thanked the judge and Kehoe for wanting to “send a message” to those who wish to inflict harm on someone for their race or ethnicity, as well as elected officials and children.
“Threats of intimidation or harm against public officials or anyone for their political or religious beliefs will not be tolerated,” Kehoe said in a statement shared with the Daily Signal. “We will take such acts seriously and prosecute these offenders to the fullest extent of the law.”
