Dog-kicking Trump supporter threatened to kill Hillary Clinton and Secret Service: DOJ

A supporter of former President Donald Trump was arrested this week after he threatened to kill Secret Service agents who were investigating his QAnon-style social media posts where he said he wanted to murder former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Local news station WFLA reports that 57-year-old Eric Evan Brown, a resident of White Springs, Florida, was arrested after the Secret Service paid him a visit after they determined that he was the author of a Twitter post in which he declared, "Remember that Mr President Donald Trump I will kill this whole f---ing country to get my f---ing pedophiles that rape the children of God I will kill you Hillary."

One of the central tenants of QAnon is a baseless claim that Hillary Clinton is in charge of a global child sex trafficking ring.

When Secret Service agents went to talk with Brown about his post, he immediately flew into a rage and began threatening them.

"Get out of here," Brown told Secret Service agents, according to the complaint. "I’ll f---ing kill you."

After the agents informed him that they were just there to talk, Brown allegedly became even more enraged and yelled, "You’re lucky I didn’t shoot you."

After agents left Brown's property, writes WFLA, they "received a call from the RV park management accusing Brown of threatening to kill another resident who saw his interaction with federal agents."

Brown, added WFLA, "was also accused of grabbing his dog by the collar and throwing it back into his RV while kicking it."

After being taken into custody, Brown was charged with interstate transmission of a threat to injure, threatening a United States Secret Service Protectee, two counts of forcibly assaulting a federal officer without use of a deadly weapon, and two counts of threatening a federal official, according to the DOJ.

He faces up to ten years in prison for each count of threatening a federal official.
