The man allegedly made phone and written threats to the New York mayoral candidate, warning the democratic socialist should “go back to Uganda” before someone shoots him in the head.
Authorities have arrested a Texas man for allegedly making phone and written threats to New York City mayoral candidate and state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, warning the self-described democratic socialist to “go back to Uganda” before someone shoots him in the head, the Queens district attorney said Thursday.
Jeremy Fistel was arraigned on a 22-count grand jury indictment charging him with making a terroristic threat as a hate crime, aggravated harassment and related charges in the case. Prosecutors allege he started sending the messages to Mamdani’s office in June and continued to do so through July.
According to the charges, Fistel allegedly left an anti-Muslim message June 18 saying the Uganda-born Mamdani wasn’t welcome in New York and warning him to watch his back and his family’s backs. He called him a terrorist.
An other article had a bit more of what he said. I guess this guy is a Zionist or something? They charged him with enough to possibly net him 15 years.
“You are not compatible with our Western values,” the vile voicemail said. “So stop spewing your antisemitic rhetoric and get the f–k out of America.”
On July 8, Fistel allegedly left a missive on Mamdani’s website saying he’d “love to see an IDF bullet go through your skull” and that “it would “be even better if you had to watch your wife and kids murdered in front [of] you.”
“Go start your car and see what happens. I’d keep an eye on your house and family. Watch your f–king back every f–king second until you get the f–k out of America,” the message said.
“Nobody wants your terrorist ways here. And check your beeper, too, you terrorist f–k,” the message continued, apparently referring to Israel’s pager attacks against Hezbollah. “Beep beep.”"
Damn these leftists and their violent rhetoric. They make all the good, far-right people so worried that they’re forced to protect themselves.

Jesus man, it’s the other side of the country from you. A lot of these people would benefit from just shutting the fuck up but it’s just impossible for them. They feel they have a voice so they have to get up on whatever shitty stage and just blast garbage.
Well under the new DOJ this guy will be “gone after” surely? Yea?
Man. Those republicans are such a peaceful loving group of people.
I’m glad the world’s largest military is safely being controlled by them. Makes everything so safe and secure.
They’re like a warm snuggly blanket….thats suffocating everything it touches.
This man’s actions were swiftly and harshly condemned by Donald and the MAGAs, I’m sure.
overheard at the #4 tee: “mr. president. we found another candidate for a cabinet position”
Another unsurprising case of the wolf who cried wolf
