Federal authorities arrested a 74-year-old New York man Friday for allegedly threatening two U.S. senators over their votes for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Ronald DeRisi of Smithtown, New York, is accused of making phone calls to the offices of the unnamed senators between Sept. 27 and Oct. 8, and delivering vulgar death threats.
“He’s a dead man,” one September call said, according to an investigator’s affidavit. “Nine millimeter, side of the [expletive] head. If [expletive] Kavanaugh gets in, he’s dead [expletive] meat. Actually, even if Kavanaugh doesn’t get in, he’s dead [expletive] meat.”
