A Florida man is facing federal charges for making violent threats against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

Paul Hoeffer, 60, was charged with three counts of interstate transmission of threats to injure and faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted, according to a statement from the Southern District of Florida United States Attorney's Office.

In March 2019, Hoeffer threatened to travel a "long, long way" to riddle Pelosi's head with bullets and decapitate her, the statement said. He then in November 2020 called Ocasio-Cortez and said that he would "rip her head off" and told her to sleep with one eye open.

The statement from the attorney's office did not explicitly name Ocasio-Cortez and Pelosi as the congresswomen who were threatened by Hoeffer, but the indictment lists the members as "N.P." and "A.O.C," according to West Palm Beach outlet WPTV.

1. 15 years seems about right in terms of a sentence.

2. What about all those people that showed up to do that armed with weapons, cuffs, and other devices

They were part of the insurrection...that killed police, broke into our capital, and tried to find our Represenatives that day...why are they getting a slap on the wrist?

They erected a hang station that day and was looking for people to hang?
