‘You’re gonna die.’ Macon man admits to threatening GA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

A Macon man admitted to threatening to kill Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in a federal court in Atlanta on Tuesday, according to court documents.

According to an indictment filed on Nov. 14 last year with the Northern District of Georgia, Sean Patrick Cirillo called Greene’s office on Nov. 8 and spoke with her staffers, saying he had a sniper rifle and was planning to kill her, her staffers and their family. He pleaded guilty to this, on a interstate communication of threats , Tuesday in front of Judge Victoria Calvert.

According to an FBI affidavit, Cirillo called Greene’s Washington, D.C. office two times — one at 1:22 p.m. and another at 5:36 p.m. Based on an emergency disclosure request with T-Mobile, where the phone number was registered, the phone was located in the Inman Park area of Atlanta and was owned by Cirillo.

“I’m gonna shoot her in the f****** head and kill her, OK?” Cirillo said on the first call. “Tell the FBI, okay? I’m gonna kill this (woman.) Tell her. I’ll kill you too if you want.”

The affidavit also said that Cirillo shouted, “F*** your party, your grandchildren are gonna f****** die! Die! Die!”

He also made similar comments toward Greene’s staffers, accusing them of taking money.

“You don’t think you’re gonna get payback?!” shouted Cirillo. “You’re gonna die! Your family is gonna die ... you don’t think it’s gonna happen when you’re out of power?!”

Then, at approximately 5:36 p.m., Cirillo was asked if he called early in the day, to which he responded, “Yeah, I did. I threatened you, right?”

“I’ll come kill your family,” Cirillo said later in the call.

FBI agents visited Cirillo’s residence in Dekalb County the following day, where he confessed to making the threats over the phone, saying he did it for attention and denied having a sniper rifle. He also mentioned he had made similar calls to other people including other members of Congress.

Cirillo will be sentenced Nov. 7 in the federal courthouse in Atlanta, where he faces up to five years in prison.
