Utah Man Pays the Price for Posting Death Threats Against President Biden and Alvin Bragg
In a shocking turn of events, a Utah man learned the hard way that threatening the president of the United States and high-ranking government officials will have serious consequences. Craig Robertson made the grave mistake of taking to social media to spew his venomous hatred towards President Biden and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Little did he know, his words caught the attention of the Secret Service and the FBI, leading to a knock on his door… and a tragic end to his misguided tirade.
Now, folks, let’s be clear here: threatening anyone, especially the leader of our great nation, is just plain foolish. It’s like jumping into a lion’s den with a steak strapped to your backside. And in this case, the lion struck back. Robertson’s explicit threats and disturbing plans to harm Biden and Bragg were taken very seriously by law enforcement agencies, as they should have been. It’s no wonder they swiftly moved to protect our beloved president and the dedicated public servant that is Alvin Bragg.
Robertson’s online rampage not only targeted Biden and Bragg but also included New York Attorney General Letitia James, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, and even California’s own Governor Gavin Newsom. It’s a laundry list of political figures he deemed worthy of his wrath. Now, I understand that we all have our grievances with politicians from time to time. Lord knows they give us plenty of reasons to be frustrated. But resorting to vile threats and violence is a line no sane person should cross.
The charging documents details Robertson’s disturbing plans with alarming clarity. He shamelessly boasted about preparing his camouflage and sniper rifle in anticipation of President Biden’s visit to Utah. It’s chilling to think that someone actually believes harming our president is the solution to their political grievances. Robertson’s intentions were crystal clear, with the documents stating that he had “intent to kill, at a minimum, D.A. Bragg and President Joe Biden.”
Now, let’s take a moment to applaud the actions taken by law enforcement in swiftly neutralizing this dangerous threat. It’s not easy being tasked with the responsibility of protecting our leaders, but the Secret Service and the FBI got the job done. President Biden was personally briefed on the operation, and I’m sure he’s grateful to the brave agents who ensured his safety during his visit to Utah.
This shocking incident should serve as a reminder that the consequences of our actions, especially when it comes to threatening the President of the United States and other public officials, can have dire and irreparable consequences. Let Craig Robertson’s fate be a lesson to all those who think violence is the answer. It never is.
