GOP Rep. Randy Fine ... was replying to an X post from [Rep Ilhan] Omar on Tuesday, in which she said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “should be held accountable for his crimes,” and, “war criminals should not be welcomed by any president or Congress,” after Netanyahu met with House Speaker Mike Johnson.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last year for Netanyahu, Israel’s former defense minister, and a senior Hamas official, accusing them of war crimes...

Fine wrote in response to Omar’s post, “I’m sure it is difficult to see us welcome the killer of so many of your fellow Muslim terrorists. The only shame is that you serve in Congress.”

[House Democratic leadership called for an apology and Fine replied]

“The Hamas Caucus is upset. Boo hoo."

[After calling Omar and Democratic leadership 'terrorists and Hamas supporters',] Fine accused Democrats of “ad hominem attacks”

Terrell Bailey-Corsey allegedly posted the threats on X last Tuesday, seemingly reacting to a response from X's AI agent Grok that disputed any such client list exists, as the FBI and Justice Department recently confirmed.

"Well @grok you're wrong. Everyone involved if I see them in real life I will KILL. On sight," Bailey-Corsey allegedly said.

Roughly an hour after that post, Bailey-Corsey posted another message singling out three government officials -- unnamed in the charging documents -- saying he would "KILL YOU ON SIGHT."

"IT'S TIME TO START KILLING POLITICIANS ON SIGHT," he added minutes later.
