Brooklyn Trump Supporter Threatens To Murder US Senator: Feds

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK -- A Trump supporter and pro-life advocate threatened to "put a f---ing bullet" in a United States senator whose political beliefs did not align with his own, according to federal prosecutors.

Michael Brogan, 41, faces federal charges for calling an unidentified senator's Washington office earlier this month and leaving a violent and threatening message on her answering machine, court records show.

"You and your constant lambasting of President Trump," Brogan allegedly said in the message he left on Dec. 4 at about 7:30 p.m. "You watch your a-- cause I ... I’m going to put a bullet in ya."

Brogan admitted to investigators, who traced the call to his Marine Park home Wednesday, that he made the call after watching an online video of the senator criticizing Trump and stated her views on reproductive rights, according to the complaint.

The Marine Park man told United States Capitol Police special agents the video made him "very angry" but that he didn't remember what he had said, records show.

A transcript of the message, which appears in the complaint, shows the caller proselytized the need to protect human life yet professed an extreme willingness to end the senator's.

"I value the God given right to life," said the caller. "When I’m in D.C. and you’re there, I got your f---ing mark you stupid b----."

"If I see you on the streets, I’m gonna f---ing light you up with f---ing bullets."

Brogan as arraigned in Brooklyn Federal Court Wednesday then released on a $50,000 bond with home detention and an ankle monitor, a Brooklyn Federal Court official said.

Brooklyn Federal Defenders Office attorney Michael Schneider represented Brogan and declined to comment on the case.
