Authorities say Eugene Huelsman threatened Rep. Matt Gaetz in a voicemail on January 9.

Eugene Huelsman, 58, was arrested last week in connection with a threat that was made against Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz.

The indictment against Huelsman charges him with one count of threatening Gaetz over the phone on Jan. 9, three days after rioters stormed the US Capitol. The charge carries a potential fine and up to five years in prison.

"Tell [M.G.] to watch his back, tell him to watch his children... I'm coming for him, he's gonna f-ck-ng die... I'm gonna f-ck-ng kill him... Watch your back, I'm coming for you. I'm gonna put a bullet in you and I'm gonna put a bullet in one of your f-ck-ng kids too," Huelsman said in a voicemail, according to court documents.

Huelsman was indicted on May 18 by a federal grand jury in Pensacola, Florida. However, his whereabouts at the time were unknown and the indictment was sealed.

I hate MG’s guts but I seriously hope they throw the book at this idiot.

1. I hope they find Eric Swalwell's

threatening voice mailers - and do the same to them.

[jimfields33]

6. Yep! I hope so too. I hate that people have lost their creative way at

showing their displeasure at politicians. You can bash a politician without going to immature killing or murder.

[Coventina]

2. How come we never hear of arrests for death threats made to Dems?

Not excusing this guy, but it seems I never hear about action on threats to Dems....

[smirkymonkey]

3. That was my first question.

Is there any such thing as the rule of law in this country anymore if you aren’t a MAGAt?

[onenote]

4. "We" hear about them all the time. Not sure how you missed them

5. Thank you. This doesn't even cover the thinly veiled calls for violence...

and the constant stirring of the pot, like what led to January 6.

[Tribetime]

7. He would have been better off trying to overthrow the election results

Just a misdemeanor

[LetMyPeopleVote]

8. Death threats should be treated seriously no matter who is threatened

The person who made this threat needs to be prosecuted

[Devil Child]

9. The accused is a five-time Emmy nominated cameraman for high-profile shows

Enjoy the consequences of a stupid act Mr. Huelsman.

[MagickMuffin]

10. Next up the creeps harassing Rep. Eric Swalwell that he has been receiving

And you can add Tucker Carlson to the arrest warrant.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

11. He really should've gone with "I hope you're convicted for treason and receive the Rosenberg penalty

in a court of law".

Nobody can claim that's a death threat.

[Thomas Hurt]

12. Looks like a direct death threat to me. Gaetz deserves to lose his seat and reduced to...

scintillating career in the fast food industry, or maybe prison but he does not deserve to killed.

Threatening his kids, (does Gaetz even have kids?) is way too crazy.

[Norbert]

13. I have to ask

Does this man have a teenage daughter?

[murpheeslaw]

14. So Huelsman is going after Nestor?????

“Tell [M.G.] to watch his back, tell him to watch his children...”

This guy is delusional!
