Nevada prosecutors indicted John Anthony Miller, 43, alleging that he made multiple violent phone calls between Oct. 11 through Oct. 19 to Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) and also showed up at a courthouse trying to see the legislator.

Miller appeared in a Las Vegas court on Oct. 27, when he was charged with threatening a federal official. Authorities have not charged Miller with a hate crime.

Statements Miller allegedly made include “you f****** piece of s*** un-human, subhuman, you’re vermin, b****, you are vermin, b****, and we’re gonna finish what Hitler started you f****** slut.”

Miller allegedly threatened Rosen, saying on voicemail, “you are f****** evil, b****, and we’re gonna exterminate you … ,” and “You’re gonna burn in hell, b****, and me and Jesus are gonna piss on you, b****.”

A spokesperson for Rosen said the senator “trusts the U.S. Attorney’s office and federal law enforcement to handle this matter.”
In Nevada, threatening a government official qualifies as a class-C felony with offenders facing a minimum sentence of one year and a maximum of five, as well as a fine of not more than $10,000.

The U.S. president spoke after a reporter asked him if Riyadh should accept Israeli assistance in fighting Iran’s Houthi proxy group.
“Anyone who attempts to pose a threat or attack Israel will face devastating consequences,” said Danny Danon, Israeli ambassador to the global body.
“For the love of God, if Israel is not capable of creating an investigation committee, then I think it is suitable and appropriate that the good people of the United States, the people in Congress, do provide us the answers that we’re looking for,” Ruby Chen said.
Judy Schwank told JNS that “if we can get it through both bodies and get it to the governor’s desk, he will sign it.”
