SARASOTA, FL — A Sarasota woman is facing prison time after she was found guilty of threatening "Make America Great Again" supporters on social media.

Desiree Doreen Segari, 41, was convicted by a federal jury this week of interstate communication of a threat to injure, U.S. Attorney Gregory Kehoe said Tuesday.

According to evidence presented at her trial, on Aug. 17, 2025, Segari posted a video on TikTok calling for MAGA supporters to be shot on sight.

In the video, Segari stated, “So if we all get our guns and use our Second Amendment right…and you see somebody with a MAGA hat, ‘pew pew’ that’s what we do, that’s the way, it’s the only way.” While saying “pew pew,” Segari used hand gestures mimicking the firing of a gun.

She went on to say, “Put them back in their basements, make them scared again to be racist, homophobic, and terrible just awful [expletive],” and “MAGA people deserve to be terrified and scared to walk in the streets because they should know that real Americans are gonna [mouths expletive] kill them.”

When Segari posted the video, she included a caption: “#seemagapewpewmaga starting a new trend, hope it catches on. Please spread the word. Share this video. Repost it. Use the hashtag all over the internet. Let's go, guys. It's time to fight back in a potentially effective manner.”

Segari's sentencing is scheduled for May 5. She faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.
