Virginia man charged with threatening U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris

A Virginia man was charged with making violent online threats against U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris days after she began her U.S. presidential campaign.

Frank Carillo was charged on Friday in federal court in Virginia with threatening the vice-president after posting a series of messages targeting Harris on the social media site GETTR, according to court records.

“Kamala Harris needs to be put on fire alive I will do it personally if no one else does," read one post cited in court documents. Another said Harris is "going to regret ever trying to become president."

The messages were posted on July 27, six days after President Joe Biden announced he would not run for re-election and endorsed Harris to take his place as the Democratic candidate.
