An Idaho man known as “Crazy Bull” has been charged with making nearly a dozen death threats to Donald Trump over phone calls to Mar-a-Lago, just weeks after another suspect was arrested for plotting to assassinate Trump at his golf course.
Warren Jones Crazy Bull, 64, is accused of making at least nine threatening phone calls to Trump's Palm Beach resort on July 31, according to a criminal complaint.
“Find Trump… I'm going to Bedminster tomorrow and I'm going to personally take him down and kill him,” Crazy Bull allegedly said in the phone call, referring to Trump's property in New Jersey.
According to court documents, Mar-a-Lago security guards notified the Secret Service that they had received eight threatening phone calls against the 45th president from the same number.
Crazy Bull, who was detained by federal authorities on August 1, also allegedly made similar threats on Facebook.
His arrest came just weeks before Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested on charges of plotting to assassinate the former president on September 15 at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Chang reiterated the blame for the threats on rhetoric spread by Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democrats, saying “they are the ones who are crazy.”
“There have been two heinous assassination attempts against President Trump that are a direct result of his violent rhetoric,” Chang told NBC News.
“Unless the Democrats and Kamala Harris apologize for their hateful rhetoric and tone down their attacks that stoked the flames of violence, they will be defending and inciting further bloodshed against President Trump,” Chan told the outlet.
The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment, according to NBC.
But Harris has previously condemned such political violence.
