Trump supporter, 53, is charged after 'threats to kill' senators if they vote against Kavanaugh

A man in Florida has been arrested after he threatened to shoot senators who don't support Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, authorities said.

James Royal Patrick Jr. was arrested at 4pm on Wednesday and charged with making written threats to kill or injure, Polk County Sheriff's Office said.

Investigators say they received an email tip at 11am that day about threatening posts Patrick, 53, made on this public Facebook page last month.

Authorities said that Patrick threatened to shoot members of Congress and their families depending on which way the confirmation vote went.

Here's one:
'It is all I think about night and day. I even wake up in the middle of the night, most nights, thinking about it. Ultimately I will be killed but hopefully I will have killed many many liberal [sic] elected in Washington.'
