A Virginia man was charged with making violent online threats against U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris days after she began her U.S. presidential campaign.

Frank Carillo was charged on Friday in federal court in Virginia with threatening the vice-president after posting a series of messages targeting Harris on the social media site GETTR, according to court records.

“Kamala Harris needs to be put on fire alive I will do it personally if no one else does," read one post cited in court documents. Another said Harris is “going to regret ever trying to become president.”

The messages were posted on July 27, six days after President Joe Biden announced he would not run for re-election and endorsed Harris to take his place as the Democratic candidate.

      Is it itself biased?

      It has a bias towards American Centrism and that seems to make left of center folks in other parts of the world very angry.

      It has the possibility to be like anything else, I cannot say whether it is or not. but it’s more that I would prefer to move in a direction towards people thinking more critically about the news they consume, and MBFC is offering to shortcut that process, which I don’t like

      It calls the Associated Press a leftist outlet. It’s just shitty conservative propaganda that is attempting to shift the Overton Window.
