Capitol Rioter Charged With Threatening To ‘Assassinate AOC’

A Texas man who allegedly participated in the Capitol riot earlier this month has also been charged with threatening to assassinate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and a U.S. Capitol Police officer.

Garrett Miller, who was arrested Wednesday and has been charged with five crimes related to the Capitol riot, posted a death threat against the New York congresswoman online and also wrote of “civil war,” according to an FBI criminal complaint reported by CNN.
