Published 1:04 PM EDT, Thu May 16, 2024


CNN — A Pennsylvania man was indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly threatening to kill President Joe Biden and his Cabinet in a video posted online.

Jordan Gee, 37, of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, was charged with three felony counts of threats against the president and one count of interstate threats, according to the Justice Department. CNN has reached out to Gee’s attorney for comment.

Prosecutors allege that Gee posted several videos online following Biden’s visit to Scranton, Pennsylvania, in April for a campaign event. According to the indictment, Gee said in the videos: “Joe Biden: I’m going to kill you and your whole Cabinet” and “If you come to my city in Scranton, Pennsylvania, I’m cutting your f**king head off in front of everybody, I promise.”

Gee faces a maximum of 20 years in prison. His arraignment is set for May 29 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

I don't care if he's a "first time offender" or not.

Just the F give a clear and unambiguous EXAMPLE to the rest of the fascist terrorist like him FFS!

Enough with the slaps on the wrists!

Time out. I hate paying for people like him to be incarcerated but would rather that than have him on the street.

I don't know how it was decided that 20 years maximum is sufficient for this kind of threat, but it doesn't seem enough. Even if he gets the maximum sentence (which isn't guaranteed), at age 37 he could be free before he's in his 60's.
