A 45-year-old San Pedro man pled guilty today to threatening to kill Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles, over her opposition to President Donald Trump.
Anthony Scott Lloyd faces sentencing July 16 on the single count of threatening a United States official. The charge carries a maximum possible sentence of 10 years behind bars, but the defendant is expected to receive a far lesser penalty.
LLoyd's attorney declined comment outside court.
Lloyd made the threat during a phone call to Waters' Capitol Hill office. He had become angered while listening to talk radio on Oct. 22, when he heard a report in which Waters made disparaging comments about Trump, according to court papers.
"If you continue to make threats toward the president, you're going to wind up dead, Maxine, 'cause we'll kill you," Lloyd said in a voicemail.
He also used a racial slur -- the N-word -- to refer to Waters and an anti-gay slur in the message, officials said.
One of Waters' staff members contacted the U.S. Capitol Police, which notified the FBI.
An FBI agent interviewed Lloyd, who admitted leaving the voicemail but swore he had no intent to actually harm Waters.
Lloyd, who lives with his grandmother, identified himself as a "pro- president supporter" during the interview, papers show.
Waters has been one of Trump's most forceful critics on Capitol Hill.
For his part, Trump has referred to her several times as a "low-I.Q. individual."
Waters said in a statement in November that her district is "very diverse, and though we don't always agree, my constituents would never threaten me. We are collectively focused on the progress, safety and security of our communities."
Donald Trump started all this, and now, insanely, claims to be the victim, even as he continues to insult, threaten and bully anyone who dares disagree with him.
Former GOP National Chairman Michael Steele said tonight that Trump wants a double standard. He wants to insult and attack everyone under the sun that dares disagree with him, but then claim victimhood when his targets fight back.
Maxine Waters never threatened Donald Trump, except with impeachment, yet one of his followers said he would kill her for it.
This is what Trump has brought to the American scene.
Someone IS going to get killed. It is just a question of when.
NOPE, the hateful scum on the left like Maxine Waters have started it.
As if you can't see it:
She also helped incite the LA riots.
A year ago some leftist tried to kill Republican congressmen playing baseball and yet you blame Trump. I pity you
Oh my god, look at that evil woman. Listen to what she said.
trump with all of his hateful and divisive rhetoric, all of his put downs of other people, his name calling, him telling people to be prepared to fight, him telling them that if they did he would take care of them, on and on.
What Waters said was to surround this hateful administration and tell them that we will not stand for it.
Funny I can tell who watched fox the night before.
Sad that they never realize they are perpetuating the problem.
You posted a video from Jun 23 2018. This all started long before that. Donald Trump is the most dishonest and confrontational person to ever run for president on a major party ticket. When you are so dishonest and so confrontational you are virtually begging your opposition to fight back against you.
Trump began his political career by lying about Barack Obama's birth certificate. He wanted to run for president in 2012 so the year before he constantly lied about Obama to see what sort of base he could create for himself in the Republican Party. It was working until Obama released his long form birth certificate and Trump had to back down. Then Trump continued his lying when , not two minutes into his announcement speech that he was running for the 2016 nomination he started calling Mexicans murderers and rapists. Trump's political career was literally born from lying.
At his rallies he called for people who interrupted him to be punched in the face and a few of them were by Trump's obedient followers.
The deplorables are in denial of Trump's appeal and his behavior and his words, or they are lying about them. All this present incivility can be traced back to Trump, and he continues to be uncivil every single day. As do many of his fans and cult followers. It is true Trump gets up there regularly and tries to play the victim, but intelligent observers know better.
She also said she was going to "take out" Trump.
Gee, I can just imagine what would have happened if some senator or congressman said they were "going to take out Obama".
I did see that Judicial Watch has sent a letter to the House Ethics Committee asking them to take up the case against Maxxine for her words and actions over the last week (because the House Committee can't prosecute stupid they do need to evaluate her actions as they are minimally, unbecoming to the House).
Your'e being generous. Her followers usually need a text message or FB message to show up at a riot and a reminder with a ride to the polls on election night
Although those who make such threats should be punished to the extent of the law, making threats is far less serious than actually taking action and attempting to kill Republicans on a baseball field.
Or Democrats like Gabrielle Giffords.
I see more hate daily from one side. Believe me, it is not from mine.
Your side? Pretty sad that some Americans have to take "sides"
Yes, the Giffords shooting was a tragedy. Liberals tend to be violent against their own.
"As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal. & oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy." And, most ominously, "He was a political radical & met Giffords once before in '07, asked her a question & he told me she was 'stupid & unintelligent.'"
I am sure many people can tweet.
From his own words,
Then,
I would hardly call him left wing.
And...
Nope...he was a lefty. Just because you register independent does not mean you don't vote Democrat.
Uh, it said he didn't even vote. kind of throws your theory out the window.
Almost all the mass shooters have been liberal and left leaning. It's a fact.
No it's not. Those lies have been repeatedly debunked. You need better news sources, because the ones you are using suck.
Perspective. Virtually anyone to the left of knuckle dragging birther morons is a left leaning liberal.
Of course, you wouldn't. But normal people would, based on his words and actions.
.
Says who?
.
Rep. Claudia Tenney claims many mass murderers are Democrats .
Fact check: She is wrong.
.
Is This List of Democrat Shooters Accurate?
.
Do many mass shooters 'end up being Democrats', as Rep. Tenney said?
NO
Debunked by who? C'mon John, you can put proof out for at least ONE of your accusations.
But really...probably not.
Lets see, 45 years old and lives with his grandmother, uses the inclusive "we" like any good gang member and slurs in his death threat. Obviously well educated, unemployed from his high-tech job because some minority or the other took his job.
But he really didn't mean it.
To bad he didn't say "god made him do it" or "I've asked god for forgiveness", the spells that make conservatives protective or he'd be a PERFECT example of the fox flock.
This one's all trump's and the new order of GOP, I hope they're proud to have him in their ranks.
I have to admit that his reaction to this mind dead old bitch was a tad strong, but let the idiotic ugly old biddy speak for heavens sake. After all, she, along with Schumer, Puglosi, Warren, Bernie, and Hillary continue to be the face of the rapidly expiring once proud party called Democrats. Every day they provide wonderful gifts to the GOP by alienating more and more traditional Democrats. Can't wait for the midterms to confirm the Dem demise.
Shit in one hand and wish in the other. See which hand gets filled faster.
My father used to say that but he added.....And be careful of which hand you use to stifle a sneeze.
Very weak and wimpy response.
Perfect. That makes it appropriate for the unamerican trash it was directed towards.
Harassing and hounding people won’t make things better. All it will do is make people angry and further polarize the electorate into flat out tribalism. She is an unbelievably stupid fool and the best thing she can do for the county is slip and fall down the stairs.
You are a Trump enabler, and when it's all said and done will have that on your conscience. It is what it is.
You are a violence and hatred enabler. It's all you know and all you do, day in and day out. One has to wonder what in the world you'd do if Hillary had won? You'd be at a loss to find a purpose for your life.
Spike, Trump is unqualified to be president of the United States, for many many reasons.
You support him and attack those who criticize him. You are the problem.
This fucking guy is not going to be normalized. The well being country is at stake.
I'm doing great and contributing MORE (taxes) to MY Country.....since I am now making more money.
It's NOT "WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU ", It's "WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY".
What are you doing ? Protesting ? How's that pay scale going.
She incited the LA riots. She is a murderer
Alternate Title: Recycled story from April to distract from Democrats abhorrent behavior
I seeded it to remind everyone that Maxine Waters is a victim too. Or does that crap only work for Trump?
(deleted) You know Trump is a piece of shit yet you ignore it to continue your lifelong complaint against "liberals".
There is no question that the right wing expects a free pass on any incivility they display.
Whether it was the outrageous actions of " tea party" and right wing extremists who maligned Obama with burning in effigy, mock lynchings, watermelon memes on the WH lawn, calling his wife an ape and you could go on for hours about the rampant birtherism which was rooted in racism and hatred. It never stopped from the minute Obama was elected before he even took the oath and it still goes on today.
The outrageous conspiracies about Hillary and the pizzagate scandal, calling her and her family terribly incivil things. To this day Chelsea is attacked and mocked on twitter with donkey memes and angry right wing haters calling her a donkey and horses arse.
It defies reality to watch as we saw Trump rallies where Lewandowski was charged for physical harassment of a female reporter, Trump mocked a disabled reporter, Gianforte body slammed a reporter and was found guilty of assault and even with a conviction was elected anyway.
Trump uses demeaning and mocking language over any critics regardless of their background. He bullies and uses name calling as a means of using a dog whistle to signal his followers to adopt his incivil childish bullying attitude.
The Charlottesville rally that caused the death of Heather Heyer and Trump even then failed to decry the Nazis and right wing extremists that caused it or the tiki torch march.
Trump going back years and years and years has openly been vile and incivil. Trashing women repeatedly from Rosie, to Mika, to Megyn, to Waters, to Warren and the list is enormous. His Hollywood access tape is the real Trump.
The increase in anti=semitism with right wing nazi vandalism of synagogues. Convictions against some who have vandalized or attacked mosques. The daily ramping up of verbal attacks against any foreigners, especially Mexicans and Latinos.
America is not Great Again, it has been ripped apart by a man deliberately tearing it apart to serve himself. Trump was never a public servant, he will never be a public servant.
Trumpers got totally scammed and they go along for the ride because no one is stopping Trump so why would they stop their own incivility. Trump has made being uncivil normalized so why the right wing goes at it they really should look in the mirror.
Good summary of this fool and his followers.
There is something that has gone viral (2 million views and climbing) regarding just that. A woman here accused a naturally born Latino landscaper of being a drug dealer, rapist, and an animal. He also got in the mother's face telling her to go back to Mexico. She is your typical trump-bot parroting Trump, using his words. This so called "rapist/drug dealer/animal is a systems administrator and graduate of Cal State Polytechnic University-Pomona CA. I doubt if she went past high school.
