A Florida man was arrested for threatening Rep. Lauren Boebert's life, according to federal court documents unsealed Friday, which reveal a series of menacing Twitter posts.
Matthew Lee Comiskey of Palm Beach County Florida is facing five counts of "Interstate Threat," for posts sent during September 2021. His indictment, dated May 26, was under seal until Friday, due to the fact Comiskey had not yet been arrested. Then Friday, the Justice Department moved to unseal the case "due to the arrest of the defendant."

Another post read, "Don't worry Lauren, someone is coming soon to show your face the 2nd amendment in practice with a copper jacket. Enjoy."
