[An Arizona man was arrested Monday and faces a felony charge of threatening the president-elect after allegedly making a series of threats against Donald Trump in Facebook videos. Manuel Tamayo-Torres is accused of making several threats against Trump and his family, including one video in which he appears to hold up an AR-15-style rifle.
According to court documents, Tamayo-Torres said in a video posted on Facebook, “[Individual 1] you’re gonna die, [Individual 1], your son’s gonna die. Your whole family is going to die, [Individual 1]. This is reality now for you. This is the only reality you have in your future, [Individual 1], dying.”
In another video, Tamayo-Torres threatened to shoot Trump and held up what appears to be a white AR 15-style rifle with a 30-round magazine inserted into it. Tamayo-Torres also posted a video on August 23 from Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, where Trump held an afternoon rally.
Tamayo-Torres is also charged with several counts of making false statements on federal forms while trying to purchase a gun last year in Phoenix, Arizona. It is unclear if Tamayo-Torres has a lawyer.
