A Texas man pleaded guilty to threatening Georgia officials in the wake of the 2020 election, the Justice Department announced on Thursday.

Prosecutors say Chad Christopher Stark, 55, of Leander, Texas, wrote a message on Craigslist with the title of “Georgia Patriots it’s time to kill [Official A] the Chinese agent – $10,000” around Jan. 5, 2021.

“It’s time to invoke our Second Amendment right it’s time to put a bullet in the treasonous Chinese [Official A]. Then we work our way down to [Official B] the local and federal corrupt judges,” the message also said, according to the Justice Department.

    A Texas man pleaded guilty to threatening Georgia officials in the wake of the 2020 election, the Justice Department announced on Thursday.

    Prosecutors say Chad Christopher Stark, 55, of Leander, Texas, wrote a message on Craigslist with the title of “Georgia Patriots it’s time to kill [Official A] the Chinese agent – $10,000” around Jan. 5, 2021.

    “It’s our duty as American Patriots to put an end to the lives of these traitors and take back our country by force.

    One good loyal Patriot deer hunter in camo and a rifle can send a very clear message to these corrupt governors… milita up Georgia it’s time to spill blood….

    The DOJ said Stark pleaded guilty to “one count of a sending a threat using a telecommunications device” Thursday and faces up to two years in prison.

    “Today’s guilty plea plainly shows that anyone who threatens election officials online will be investigated by the FBI and held accountable for their words,” said Assistant Director Luis Quesada of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division.

    He went on to say:

    “The part about the camo may not seem important, but it is. Preferably tight fitting and only zipped up half way with nothing on underneath. This is vital. And you must be a DEER hunter. If you are a duck or quail hunter, gtfo.”
