A longtime Voice of America employee was arrested Thursday, accused of threatening to kill far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, along with her staff and their families, including a call in which he allegedly vowed to shoot the congresswoman “between the eyes” with an AK-47.

According to the Justice Department, 64-year-old Seth Jason of Edgewater, Maryland, made at least eight threatening phone calls from the government-funded broadcaster between October 2023 and January 2024, the New York Post reported.

“I’m looking forward to your book signing. We are all armed and ready to take care of you,” Jason said in one message for the Georgia Republican lawmaker, federal prosecutors say.

“We’re coming after you and your staff, and we are locked and loaded. We’re going to take you all out,” the call continued. “We’ve got our AK-47s. You’re going to get one between the eyes. Bam, bam, bam.”

The calls “were made from various phone lines connected to studios and control rooms at Voice of America headquarters,” prosecutors added.

Jason was taken into custody by U.S. Capitol Police in coordination with the Anne Arundel County Police Department, where he had served as a volunteer reserve officer since 2016, The Post noted further.

The AACPD confirmed that one of its volunteers had been arrested and stated that he is no longer affiliated with the department.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Jason began working at Voice of America in 2001. President Donald Trump ordered the broadcaster shut down in March of this year, calling it “The Voice of Radical America.”

“You threaten a public official, and you face the full force of the law crushing down on you,” Interim DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro declared in a statement. “There will be no mercy and no excuses.”

Jason faces four criminal charges: threatening a federal official by targeting a family member, threatening a federal official directly, making interstate threats to kidnap or cause harm, and anonymous telecommunications harassment, noted The Post.

If convicted of all counts, he faces up to 27 years in prison, the outlet added.

In May, Taylor Greene on Friday addressed speculation that she was considering running against incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff (D) in Georgia next year.

The fiery Republican ally of Trump, in a lengthy X post, said she had no plans to vie for the seat, declaring that the Senate “doesn’t work” anymore.

Greene’s decision comes after Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), who was widely viewed as gearing up for a run against Ossoff, announced last week that he, too, would pass. GOP Reps. Mike Collins, Buddy Carter, and Rich McCormick are all considering runs, per NBC News.

Here are excerpts from MTG’s lengthy X post:

I love my home state of Georgia so much. The people here may not be rich with the world’s riches, but they are overflowing with kindness, love, family values, and a deep sense of joy, whether they’re sitting on the front porch or the tailgate of a pickup truck. These are the people who raised me, who I’m lucky enough to call friends, and who hug my neck no matter what corner of the state I’m in.

These are the people I fight for.

So when I read an Axios article this morning about the ultra-rich Kemp donors gathering last weekend at their elite retreat on luxurious Sea Island to anoint their preferred candidate to run against Jon Ossoff, I laughed out loud. Sea Island is not far from Jekyll Island, where another elite retreat formed the Federal Reserve, and look how that turned out.

These are the same elites who scoffed at me when I first ran for Congress in 2020. But I beat eight well-funded male opponents in the primary and crushed the establishment’s handpicked neurosurgeon in the runoff. And I’ll be blunt: the elites don’t speak for the people of Georgia who would walk through fire for President Trump.
