SARASOTA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Sarasota, Florida, woman has been sentenced to over a year in federal prison after being found guilty of making threats against MAGA supporters on social media, the Department of Justice said on Monday.
Desiree Segari, 41, was indicted in September 2025 after posting a TikTok the month prior, calling for supporters of President Donald Trump’s agenda to be “shot on sight,” according to evidence presented at trial.
She was found guilty of interstate communication of a threat to injure on Jan. 13, 2026.
The DOJ quoted Segari’s video, “MAGA people deserve to be terrified and scared to walk in the streets because they should know that real Americans are gonna [mouths expletive] kill them.”
She also mimicked firing a gun with hand gestures during the video and captioned the post “#seemagapewpewmaga starting a new trend, hope it catches on. Please spread the word. Share this video. Repost it. Use the hashtag all over the internet. Let’s go guys. It’s time to fight back in a potentially effective manner.”
Segari posted another video the next day, the DOJ said.
“See MAGA pew pew MAGA, see MAGA pew pew MAGA, see MAGA pew pew MAGA so these [expletive] know we ain’t here to play,” she said while again mimicking firing a gun.
The charge carried a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Segari was sentenced to 14 months.

She made a general threat not a specific one. How is this different from somebody on here saying “I’ve had it up to here with these damn libtards it’s time for a civil war” and then get arrested for domestic terrorism or something and thrown in the Federal pen for a year and a half? Did they discover a cache of weapons and ammo and a manifesto from this woman showing she was planning violent action? No they didn’t she’s just an overly emotional nutjob who likes to spout off on the internet. Can’t believe some people here think this policy acceptable. I mean this is just a manifestation of increasing fascism. The very sort of crap I would expect from the left.
Yer kidding. Right?
No I’m not.
So let’s use the technique I was taught in college…turn it around.
Dems need to know fear. Dem bang bang Dem. Everywhere they go…Dem bang bang Dem. They should know fear.
Yep…that would be called inciting violence…
Meme....
We have a definite justification for taking self-defense actions.
It’s not Friendly Persuasion where Gary Cooper’s family are supposed to quietly accept being shot to death to uphold the nonviolence of their religious beliefs. His best friend died in his arms telling him it’s okay that you people keep working for the peaceful side, doing it the right way.”
A shame if someone on the other side has a shiv and is in a bad mood in prison.
Guards should be more alert like at Epstein’s prison-—oh wait. Bad example.
Look through his posting history and it should be clear to you he is not.
